RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00614
INDEX CODE: 121.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 22 AUG 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The 19 days of leave he lost at the end of Fiscal Year 2003 (FY03) be
restored.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was unable to take leave because of his deployments.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of his travel
order, travel vouchers, leave request, and other documents associated
with the matter under review.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) indicates
the applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
master sergeant, having been promoted to that grade on 1 Jun 95. His
Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) is 26 Dec 79.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFF noted the applicant lost 31 days of leave and carried
forward 78 days at the end of FY03. They also noted the applicant’s
commander supported his request to restore 31 days that were lost at
the end of FY03. Since the applicant carried over 78 days of leave in
FY03, the minimum (sic) number of days that can be restored under the
provisions of special leave accrual (SLA) is 12 days, which AFPC/DPFF
recommends.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFF evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 25
Mar 05 for review and response. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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. Having carefully reviewed this
application, we are sufficiently persuaded that corrective action is
warranted in this case. Thus, we agree with AFPC/DPFF’s
recommendation that the applicant’s records be corrected to reflect
the addition of lost leave to his leave account. However, we differ
with the amount of leave they recommended be restored. The evidence
of record indicates that at the end of FY03, the applicant had a leave
balance of 109 days and was allowed to carry forward 78 days of leave
under the provisions of SLA. As a result, he lost 31 days of leave at
the end of FY03. It appears that an additional 12 days of leave have
been restored to his account, leaving the applicant with 19 days of
lost leave at the end of FY03, which he is now requesting be restored
to his leave account because he was unable to take leave as a result
of his deployments. AFPC/DPFF recommends that only 12 days of leave
be restored, indicating that since the applicant carried over 78 days
of leave, only 12 days of leave can be restored under the provisions
of SLA. As indicated above, it would appear 12 days of leave have
been added to his leave account, giving him the maximum amount
allowable under the provisions of SLA. Notwithstanding this, he is
left with 19 days of lost leave as a result of operational mission
requirements and not through any fault of his own. Therefore, we are
inclined to restore all the leave he lost at the end of FY03 to his
current leave account. Accordingly, we recommend that the applicant’s
records be corrected to show that 19 days of leave were added to his
leave account commencing 2 Oct 04.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that 19 days of leave were
added to his leave account commencing 2 Oct 04.

Applicant requests 60 days of leave be restored to his leave account and he be entitled to sell his leave upon his 1 May 2005 retirement. The Air Force has recommended restoring 60 days to the applicant’s leave account. In reviewing the applicant’s MMPA, DFAS determined, however, that the applicant’s account should have reflected 26.5 days of leave at the time of his retirement.

_________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21 Jul 06 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). The Air Force contends the applicant could have used the remainder of his use/lose leave instead of PDRT during the 30 Jul to 30 Sep 03 period. Therefore, since FY06 is almost over and sufficient time must be allowed for processing, we recommend...
His leave files indicate he brought 59 days of leave into FY00, earned 30 days of leave for FY00, and used 17 days that same FY (59+30=89; 89- 17=72). _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSFM stated the applicant applied for restoration of this leave as Special Leave Accrual (SLA) through the PACAF/DP, who correctly disapproved his application as he is not entitled to SLA.
