RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02910
INDEX CODE: 102.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) be changed to
reflect 22 Aug 88, rather than 22 Aug 94 so that she can retire in 2008,
rather than 2014.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Prior to entering active duty she served in the Army National Guard for 18
years. Her recruiter told her that she would receive 8 years credit for
the time she served in the Guard. However, she only received 2 years
credit for the time she served. If she had known she would have had to
serve an additional 18 years to retire she would have stayed in the Guard.
She was only a few years away from retirement in the Guard.
In support of her request, applicant provided a personal statement,
Statements of Service, and documentation associated with her appointment
into the Air Force, a personnel data system printout, and a copy of her
point history statement. Her complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Army National Guard on 14 Sep 77 and was
discharged on 27 Nov 88. She was appointed a second lieutenant in the Army
National Guard on 28 Nov 88 and was discharged from the Army National Guard
on 15 Jul 96. On 16 Jul 96, she was appointed a captain, Reserve of the
Air Force and was voluntarily ordered to extended active duty on 29 Jul 96.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAO recommends denial. DPPAO states that the applicant's TAFMSD was
computed correctly in accordance with AFI 36-2604. Table 1, Rule 1, states
"when there is no break in AD from date of original entry on active duty,
the TAFMSD is the date of original entry on active duty, when there is a
break in active duty, the TAFMSD is later than the date of original entry
on AD by a period equal to the break or breaks. Does not include AD while
a student at Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences of Health
Professions Scholarship Program. Includes concurrent enlisted cadet status
and solely cadet status at a service academy for airmen only." The DPPAO
evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant states that the problem is not with computing her TAFMSD
correctly; the problem is not having been provided with the correct
information by the Air Force Recruiter. Her complete submission is at
Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we do not
find her uncorroborated assertion of miscounseling sufficiently persuasive
to override the rationale provided by the Air Force. It appears that her
TAFMSD was computed correctly upon her appointment and we see no evidence
which would lead us to believe that she is entitled to any additional
service credit. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of
the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
