RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01885
INDEX CODE: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The extension of his 1 May 1998 enlistment for 26 months be cancelled.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His extension was for the purpose of retraining and a continental United
States (CONUS) permanent change of station (PCS) that was cancelled. The
extension was not cancelled per his request.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a copy of AF Form 1411,
dated 4 April 2002.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 April 1987 in the
grade of airman basic for a period of 6 years. He continued to reenlist
and contracted his last on 1 May 1998 in the grade of staff sergeant for a
period of six years and is currently serving in the grade of technical
sergeant.
On 2 April 2002, the applicant extended his 1 May 1998 enlistment for 26
months to qualify for an assignment.
Based on the 26-month extension, the applicant’s date of separation is 30
April 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommended denial. They indicated that on AF Form 1411,
section VIII, the applicant initialed the block that states “I understand
if the original reason for which I extended is cancelled, I may request
cancellation of this extension provided I have not entered it. If I am
eligible and want to cancel this extension, I must request cancellation
within THIRTY CALENDAR DAYS of the date I am notified the original reason
for which I extended no longer exists. Failure to cancel the extension
within the 30-calendar day limit will be considered a willingness on my
part to serve out the extension.” The applicant initialed this block. He
should have requested clarification on the items he didn’t understand
before initialing them.
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 June 2003, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and response within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or an injustice. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been
the victim of an error or injustice. On 2 April 2002, the applicant
extended his 1 May 1998 enlistment for 26 months to qualify for an
assignment; however, the assignment was cancelled. We note that the
applicant signed an AF Form 1411, and initialed in section VIII, indicating
that he understood if the original reason for which he extended was
cancelled, he could request cancellation of the extension provided he has
not entered it. The form further indicated that if he was eligible and
wanted to cancel the extension, he must request cancellation within 30
calendar days of the date he was notified of the original reason for which
he extended no longer existed. We find no evidence that the applicant
cancelled the extension within the 30-day calendar suspense, nor that he
did not understand the terms of his extension. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice; that the application was denied
without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not
considered with this application.
