                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03983
            INDEX CODE:  128.05

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be awarded a Zone A Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB)  entitlement
for his 23 April 2001 reenlistment.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was apparently entitled to an SRB at his last reenlistment and  did
not receive it.  He  contends  the  Military  Personnel  Flight  (MPF)
failed to authorize the  SRB  at  reenlistment.   While  checking  the
personnel system at his local  MPF  he  was  told  that  he  had  been
eligible for a Zone B 0.5 SRB that was verified by  personnel  at  Air
Force Personnel Center (AFPC).  He carries an Air Force Specialty Code
(AFSC) of 3A0X1 that was on the SRB list as of 31 October 2000.

In support of his appeal, the applicant  has  provided  copies  of  an
email  trail  between  himself  and  AFPC  personnel,  a  DD  Form  4,
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of  the  United  States,
with attachment.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant is currently in the Regular Air Force as  a  Staff  Sergeant
(SSgt/E-5).  On 23 April 2001, he reenlisted in the for  a  period  of
four years.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  The SRB list that was  in  effect  upon
member's  reenlistment  date  was  31  October  2000.    As   of   his
reenlistment date, his AFSC was not authorized a Zone  A  SRB.  (Note:
his AFSC was not  authorized  a  Zone  A  SRB  on  the  preceeding  or
following lists either).  He would not have been eligible  to  receive
an SRB unless he had between 6 and 10 years of  total  active  federal
service.  Member had only 3 years and 29  days  total  active  federal
military service as of his reenlistment  date  and  therefore  is  not
authorized a Zone B SRB.

DPPAE’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
19 December 2003 for review and comment 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  error  or  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
office of primary responsibility and  adopt  their  rationale  as  the
basis for our conclusion that at the time the applicant reenlisted, he
was not eligible for a selective reenlistment  bonus.   Therefore,  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.
