_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not notified that he had to reenlist within 30 calendar days of
award of his 3-skill level.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a personal statement, a
memorandum of support from his Military Personnel Flight (MPF)

Training Allocation Notification, AF Form 899, Request and Authorization

_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on 10
March 1999, for a term of 6 years and was progressively promoted to the
grade of staff sergeant (SSgt/E-5).
Upon graduation from basic training he attended technical school and was
trained in AFSC 2A5X1, Aerospace Maintenance. In February 2004, he was
approved for retraining into AFSC 3C0X1, Communication Computer Systems
Operator, with a class start date of 18 August 2004, and a graduation
date of 16 November 2004.
He extended for 23 months for retraining giving him a date of separation
of 9 March 2005. He completed training and on 11 February 2005,
reenlisted for a period of four years.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states, on 29 March 2004, HQ USAF
released a new SRB list with an effective date of 30 March 2004 and
announced that affected personnel should be briefed. The message stated
that all deletions and decreases would be in effect as of 30 April 2004.
The message also requested that PA/IM/SC publish articles in all base
papers announcing the changes to the current SRB program and informing
all members they should contact their MPF to determine their eligibility
to reenlist with an SRB entitlement. This information was also posted
on the AFPC Reenlistments web page.
DPPAE states the applicant is not eligible to receive the SRB that was
in effect when he was approved for retraining because he did not
reenlist within 30 days of the notice of termination of the SRB for that
career field.
DPPAE’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he never received official notification of the
requirement to reenlist within 30 days of graduating from technical
training school as directed by AFI 36-2606. He believes AFI 36-2606
requires that individuals be notified and acknowledge receipt of this
termination/reduction of SRBs if authorized to receive it prior to the
stoppage and he was not notified.
He states one of the main reasons for retraining into this career field
was to take advantage of the SRB. He would not purposely disregard an
AFI that gives specific guidance on receiving a SRB. He has been
waiting his entire career to take advantage of an opportunity like this.
He asks that the Board rule in his favor.
His complete response, with attachments, is at 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that
the applicant should be given the relief requested. Applicant’s
contentions are duly noted; however, we found no evidence that the
applicant was miscounseled or that he has been treated any differently
than others who were similarly situated. Therefore, we agree with the
opinions and recommendations 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. In
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
