                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-01523
            INDEX NUMBER:  108.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His service for basic pay be adjusted to include his time spent  on
the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) and that this  time
be creditable for pay purposes.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was placed on the TDRL on 4 Jan  97  and  was  not  removed  and
permanently retired until 19 Apr 02.  His time on the TDRL was  not
accurately corrected at the time of his removal from the  TDRL  and
he is now asking this to be done.

In support of his application he submits a  personal  statement,  a
copy of  his  DD  Form  214,  copies  of  the  Special  Orders  and
correspondence placing him on the TDRL and subsequently permanently
retiring  him  for  disability,  and  excerpts  from   DoD   PA-1F,
Disability Separation.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 3 Jan 97, applicant was released from active duty in  the  grade
of master sergeant and his name was  placed  on  the  TDRL  due  to
physical disability under the provisions of AFI 36-3212,  effective
4 Jan 97, with a compensable percentage for physical disability  of
50 percent.  At the time of his release from active  duty,  he  was
credited with 18 years, 5 months, and 24 days of active service for
retirement, and 18 years, 6 months, and 15 days service for pay.

Effective 4 Jan 02, his name was removed from the TDRL and  he  was
permanently retired with a 60 percent disability rating  under  the
provisions of Title 10, United States Code (USC), Section 1201.

___________________________________________________________________



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPD recommends the application be denied  and  states,  in
part, that service computation for pay credit is  calculated  under
Title 37, USC, Section 205, Chapter 3.  The manual  clearly  states
that veterans assigned on the TDRL are in a retired status and this
period may not be credited for  the  purpose  of  increasing  their
retired pay.  A review of  the  applicant’s  disability  retirement
order revealed no errors in computing both his  periods  for  basic
pay and his active service for retirement.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 28 May 04, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was  forwarded  to
the applicant for review and response within 30 days.  As  of  this
date, this office has received no response (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 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 its  rationale
as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an  error  or  injustice.   The  applicant’s  time  while
assigned on the TDRL is considered retired status,  and  under  the
provisions of Title  37,  United  States  Code  (USC),  Chapter  3,
Section 205, this period may not be credited  for  the  purpose  of
increasing retired pay.  Therefore, we find no basis upon which  to
favorably consider his request.

___________________________________________________________________

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.
