         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02421

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) time be credited toward  her  pay
date, and that her pay date be changed from 10 Mar 86 to 6 Jan 86.

Her pay grade reflect her prior enlisted  service  with  16  years  of
total credit toward pay.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When she transferred from the Navy  to  the  Air  Force  Reserve,  she
should have been credited for her DEP time, and  that  her  pay  grade
should have reflected her prior  enlisted  service  with  16 years  of
total credit toward pay.

In support of  her  appeal,  the  applicant  provided  copies  of  her
appointment order, leave and earnings statements, and basic and  drill
pay charts.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant’s available military personnel records indicate that she was
appointed a captain, Reserve of the Air Force, on 1 Apr 03, with a pay
date of 9 May 86.  Her Total  Years  Service  Date  (TYSD)  and  Total
Federal Commissioned Service Date were 10 Dec 96.

An AF Form 973, dated 28 Jul 03, indicates that the  applicant’s  TYSD
and TFCSD were changed to 11 Oct 96.   Her  date  of  rank  (DOR)  was
changed from 30 Dec 00 to 1 Nov 00.  Her pay date was changed  from  9
May 86 to 10 Mar 86,  and  her  retirement/retention  (R/R)  year  was
changed from 11 Oct 96 to 1 Apr 03.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPA indicated that administrative  actions  have  been  taken  to
correct  the  applicant’s  service  dates,  crediting  her  with  over
17 years  toward  pay.   However,  they  recommended  denial  of   the
applicant’s request to be credited for her DEP time.   They  indicated
that Title 37, United States Code, Section  205,  does  not  authorize
credit for pay date computation  when  members  enlist  in  a  Reserve
component, which DEP time is  considered,  before  the  member  begins
service on active duty.

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPA evaluation, with  attachments,  is  at
Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 8 Aug
03 for review and response.  As of this date,  no  response  has  been
received by this office (Exhibit C).

_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.

      a.  With regard to the applicant’s request that  her  pay  grade
reflect her prior enlisted service with 16 years of credit toward pay,
we note that administrative corrections have been made to her records,
to include her service dates and pay eligibility.  Therefore, it  does
not appear that any further corrective action is necessary  concerning
this matter.

      b.  Concerning her request that her DEP time be credited  toward
her pay date, 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.
Therefore, in the absence of sufficient evidence to the  contrary,  we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting  this  portion  of  her
appeal.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.

    At that time, no credit was awarded for work experience unless the applicant had completed a post graduate degree (Masters or PhD). As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). After a thorough review of the available evidence and the applicant’s complete submission, we find no evidence which would persuade us that the applicant’s service records should be corrected to show she was appointed to a higher grade at the time of her appointment.
