RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01102
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be offered 29 days of continuation by the CY03B Captain Selective
Continuation Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His nonselection for continuation by the CY03 Captain Selective
Continuation Board has caused him to be involuntarily separated effective
31 August 2004. This separation date is less than one month shy of
sanctuary or of having 18 years of total active Federal military service.
He has dedicated his entire life to diligently and faithfully serve his
country for the past 17 years. He participated in Desert Shield/Desert
Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He would
consider it to be an injustice to not have the opportunity to retire with
20 years of service.
The applicant provides no supporting documentation. The applicant’s
submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date was
established as 22 September 1986 based on eight years of prior enlisted
service. Applicant’s Total Active Federal Commission Service date is 15
July 1994 and he is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
captain, with a date of rank of 28 June 1998. As of 10 May 2004, the PDS
reflects the applicant has two nonselections for promotion.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends the application be denied. DPPPO states that the
applicant’s Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 21R did not meet the
eligibility criteria established for continuation at the CY03B Captain
Selective Continuation Board. The Secretary of the Air Force did not
identify his AFSC as critical to the needs of the Air Force for retention.
The AFPC/DPPPO evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant submits a supporting letter from his commander who indicates
he considers the applicant’s service to be invaluable as an instructor for
the Air Force’s Logistics Training Center. The commander advises that his
squadron is currently undermanned and by losing the applicant it will
provide him with an operational deficiency in implementing Air Force
training. The applicant’s 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice. The applicant believes he is the victim of an
injustice based on his proximity to sanctuary. However, we do not find
this contention sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale expressed
by the Air Force. We find no evidence showing that the applicant’s
established date of separation is contrary to governing policies. While we
are not unsympathetic to the applicant’s circumstances, in the absence of
evidence indicating he was treated differently than others who are
similarly situated, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has not been the victim of an
injustice. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is not favorably
considered.
4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
