                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  2004-01443
            INDEX CODE:  112.07
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment contract be changed from four years and  nine  months
to four years.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The 9 months remaining on his  23-month  extension  should  have  been
cancelled upon his reenlistment.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 13  October  1999.   He
currently serves in the grade of staff sergeant and  is  stationed  at
Eglin AFB, Florida.  On 6 December 2001, the  applicant  extended  his
enlistment for 23 months to qualify for retraining.  He reenlisted  on
15 May 2003 for a period of 4 years and 9 months.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends applicant’s request be disapproved as member had
obligated service upon his reenlistment.  However, they recommend  the
applicant’s reenlistment be changed from 4 years and  9  months  to  4
years and 5 months, which would change his date of separation from  14
February 2008 to 14 October 2007.

They state that extensions incurred by first term airmen  for  CAREERS
retraining is forgiven.  Therefore, when the member reenlisted, the 23
months he incurred for CAREERS retraining was forgiven.

However, time on the  member’s  original  contract  is  not  forgiven.
Therefore, when the  applicant  reenlisted,  he  had  five  months  of
obligated service remaining on his  original  contract  and  therefore
should have reenlisted for four years and five months.

The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 4
Jun 04, 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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice.  We note the applicant’s extension
incurred for career training should have been forgiven  in  accordance
with Air Force instructions; however, the member had  five  months  of
obligated service remaining on his original  contract,  which  is  not
forgiven.  Based on the recommendation by  the  Air  Force  office  of
primary responsibility that the members records be changed, we believe
his  records  should  be  corrected  to  only  reflect  the  remaining
obligated service on his original enlistment  contract.   Accordingly,
we recommend that his records be corrected  to  the  extent  indicated
below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he reenlisted in  the
Regular Air Force on 15 May 2003, for a period of 4 years and 5 months
rather than 4 years and 9 months.
