IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02941
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be paid the Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for career field 5J0X1
effective 12 June 2001.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
According to her Enlistment/Reenlistment contract and career field, she
is entitled to an SRB. She enlisted in the Air Force Paralegal career
field, 5J0X1, in June 2001 and was made aware of the fact that she was
entitled to a bonus since she reentered the Paralegal career field.
In support of her application, she provided copies of her
enlistment/reenlistment contract, assignment orders, statement of
service, and e-mail messages concerning SRB Listing. The applicant’s
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 February 1988, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force at
the age of 20 in the grade of airman basic for a period of six years.
She was progressively promoted to the rank of staff sergeant (E-5)
effective and with a date of rank of 1 April 1995. She served as a Fuels
Journeyman, Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2F051, for five years and 8
months and then as a Paralegal Apprentice, AFSC 5J031, for 2 years. On
23 January 1996, the applicant was honorably discharged to enlist in the
Air National Guard. On 31 July 1998, she was honorably discharged from
the Air National Guard for expiration of her term of service. On 12 June
2001, the applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force in the grade of
staff sergeant (E-5) for a period of four years. Due to her break in
service, her date of rank was adjusted to 12 June 2001. The applicant is
currently still on active duty with a Total Active Federal Military
Service Date of 12 Febraury 1993.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be disapproved. DPPAE
states that at the time the applicant reenlisted, there was not a program
in place that allowed her to receive an SRB. AFI 36-2606 paragraph 2.5.3
states that prior service personnel may receive an SRB if they reenlist
within three months after discharge or release from active duty.
However, in order for this to happen, there must be a program in place
that allows for the bonus. There has not been a program in place since
1990 that allows prior service members to reenlist and receive a bonus.
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force Evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 9
Aug 02, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response.
___________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. Evidence has not been provided showing
that the applicant should have received an SRB based on her 12 June 2001
prior service enlistment. According to the Air Force office of primary
responsibility, there was no SRB program in place that allowed her to
receive an SRB when she enlisted. In the absence of evidence to the
contrary, 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. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is not favorably
considered.
