                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-01513
            INDEX NUMBER:  100.03

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her 12-month extension of enlistment  be  changed  to  an  11-month
extension and her date of separation (DOS) be corrected to  reflect
26 Dec 04.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She only had to extend her  enlistment  for  11  months  versus  12
months for her Permanent Change  of  Station  (PCS)  assignment  to
Nellis AFB.  This will prevent her from extending 12 months  for  a
personal convenience extension.  She is a first term airman and the
maximum number of months she can extend is 23 months.  If  she  had
been able to extend for only 11 months for her PCS assignment,  she
would qualify for a 12-month personal convenience extension.

In support of her application, she provided a  personal  letter  to
AFPC/DPPAER, a copy of her enlistment/reenlistment contract, and  a
copy of a PCS assignment order.

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

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 27 Jan 00, the applicant enlisted in the Regular  Air  Force  in
the  grade  of  airman  for  a  period  of  four  years.   She  was
progressively promoted to the rank of staff sergeant.

On 22 May 02, applicant executed an  AF  Form  1411  (Extension  or
Cancellation  of  Extensions  of  Enlistment  in  the  Regular  Air
Force/Air Force Reserve), extending her enlistment for 12 months to
qualify for a PCS assignment.  The member’s new date of  separation
was established as 26 Jan 05.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE  recommends  the  applicant’s  request  be  disapproved.
DPPAE states, in part, that the applicant signed a valid  extension
form and should have questioned any discrepancies at the  time  she
signed the form, not almost two years later.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant contends that the technician who initiated her  extension
paper work at Travis AFB was new to the Reenlistments  Office,  and
improperly figured her reenlistment extension, by telling  her  she
needed 12 months to take her one month past her  report  not  later
than date (RNLTD) of 31 Dec 02.  The Outbound  Assignments  Section
at Nellis AFB told her that her extension should have only  brought
her to Dec 04, two years from her RNLTD.  She recently became aware
of these discrepancies while working in the  Reenlistments  Office,
where she got to know the program in depth. (Exhibit E)

___________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice warranting favorable action  on
the applicant’s request.  In this regard, the governing instruction
states that Military Personnel Flights (MPFs) will limit extensions
of enlistments to the minimum number of months  needed  to  achieve
their purpose.  The Air Force Assignments  Section  has  informally
advised that applicant would have needed 24 months of retainability
from her report not later than date (RNLTD) of 31 December 2002, to
accept her permanent change of station (PCS) assignment.  Based  on
this, the applicant would have only had to  extend  her  enlistment
for 11  months.   Therefore,  we  recommend  that  the  records  be
corrected as 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 the  extension  of
her 27 January 2000 enlistment, executed on 22 May 2002, was for  a
period of 11 months rather than 12 months.

    She was briefed that she was entitled to an SRB for the 16 months of her second extension. The extension contract provided clearly shows she was counseled she was entitled to the SRB.
