RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01938
INDEX CODE: 108.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His retraining approval date be corrected to 29 April 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He turned in his completed retraining package on 15 April 2004. He was
notified on 15 May 2004 that his package had been lost at the Major Command
(MAJCOM) Functional Manager’s (MFM) office for several weeks and they were
working on resubmitting his package. On 1 June 2004, he was notified that
his retraining package was approved. If his paperwork had not been lost,
he would have been approved before 30 April 2004.
In support of his application, the applicant provides a copy of his
retraining package and an e-mail confirming his package had been lost at
his MAJCOM. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the rank of senior
airman (E-4) with a date of rank of 15 May 2003. His Total Active Federal
Military Service Date is 28 November 2000, when he enlisted for six years.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be denied. DPPAE states that
the applicant was disqualified from his previously held Air Force Specialty
Code (AFSC) 2W1X1, Aircraft Armament Systems, and has been approved for
retraining into AFSC 3C0X1, Communications-Computer Systems Operations.
Even though his retraining package was misplaced at the MFM, it had no
negative impact. His first choice request for retraining to AFSC 3C0X1 was
approved and he has a class start date of 8 November 2004. It is DPPAE’s
opinion that there is nothing to support the course of correction requested
by the applicant. The AFPC/DPPAE 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 23
July 2004, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. The applicant asserts that since the
MFM lost his retraining request (Air Force Form 4032, Application for
Enlisted Retraining), he did not qualify for the Selective Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB) for Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) that ended on 30 April
2004. We note that if his retraining request had been approved by the MFM
not later than 29 April 2004, he would have been entitled to an SRB in Zone
A, Multiple 5, for AFSC 3C031. While the MFM admits to losing the
applicant’s package after they received it on 5 May 2004, we note the delay
had no effect on the applicant’s entitlement to an SRB. Even though the
applicant does not include it in his contentions, it appears there was a
delay between the time the Squadron Section Commander approved the
retraining package on 15 April 04 and the time it was approved by the
Military Personnel Flight (MPF) on 4 May 2004. The applicant has not
provided any evidence showing he had obtained all of the required
endorsements, on his retraining application prior to the SRB qualifying
date. Therefore, we concur with the Air Force office of primary
responsibility that the delay at the MFM had no negative impact on the
applicant’s retraining request. Based on the preceding information, we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force advisory and
adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant
has not been the victim of an error or 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 issues 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 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.

AFI 36-2626, Airman Retraining Program, Attachment 8, SRB Provisions for Retraining, requires the enlistee to acknowledge understanding that if he retrains from a non-SRB skill to an SRB skill or vice-versa, he would not receive an SRB if he reenlists to obtain the retraining retainability, and if he remains eligible to reenlist, he is entitled to the SRB multiple level in effect when final approval is received. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE...

Therefore, the first date that the applicant was eligible for reenlistment was 1 May 2004. Evidence supports that even though the applicant was eligible to reenlist upon receiving his 3-skill level in June 2003, it appears his action to delay his reenlistment until March 2004 was solely his own choice. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 15 September 2004, under the...
