RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01484
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 7 November 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Air Force Form 3008 Supplemental to Enlistment Agreement contract for a
Prior Service Reenlistment Bonus (PSRB) of $7,000 be honored by the Air
Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should have received a $7,000 PSRB because his enlistment contract
states if he enlisted as a 1 skill-level, then he would be entitled to the
bonus. He enlisted in the career 1A311 (1 skill-level) and went through
all the appropriate schools.
In support of his application, the applicant submits a copy of Annex B to
his DD Form 4, Supplemental to Enlistment Agreement – United States Air
Force; a classification/on-the-job training action; and documentation
pertaining to his awarded skill-levels. The applicant’s complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 31 January 2002, the applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the
Regular Air Force at the age of 24 in the grade of senior airman (E-4) for
a period of six years. He enlisted in the AFSC 1A311, Airborne Systems
Communications Apprentice. The applicant had previously served on active
duty from 13 November 1995 through 12 November 1999 in the Marine Corp. He
was progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5) effective
and with a date of rank of 1 September 2003. His projected date of
separation is 30 January 2008.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAES recommends denial. DPPAE states the PSRB program is offered to
members who have separated from a sister service with an Air Force
Specialty Code (AFSC) conversion for specific career fields where no
technical training is involved. Their assessment back to active duty is
based on the guidelines for the Prior Service Bonus Program set forth in
AETC Instruction 36-2002, Paragraph 2.26. The applicant is not authorized
PSRB due to the fact he attended various technical schools at the expense
of the Air Force. The AFPC/DPPAES evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 17
June 2005, 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record, we are persuaded that the applicant entered into his
initial enlistment contract with the Air Force in good faith with the
understanding he was entitled to a PSRB in the amount of $7,000. We note
the PSRB entitlement paragraph on the applicant’s AF Form 3008, Supplement
to Enlistment Agreement – United States Air Force, is signed and dated by
the applicant and the bottom of the form is signed and dated by both the
applicant and an Air Force representative. It appears an error occurred in
this case and while we note the rationale provided by the Air Force
advisory opinion, it is our opinion that the applicant should not be
penalized because of this error. Given the totality of the circumstances
of this case we believe fairness dictates the applicant’s 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 he was in a temporary duty status
for a sufficient period of time to receive basic pay to equate to
$7,000.00.
