RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01526
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 November 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded a Selected Reserve Enlistment Bonus for the 2T2X1 career
field (Cargo Processor).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Following an eight-year break in service, he reenlisted in the Air Force
Reserve into a different Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) than in his
previous enlistment. Reenlistment in his new AFSC offered a bonus to be
paid over six years. He was never told that he was ineligible to receive a
bonus by his recruiter or any other personnel during his inprocessing. He
is willing to take the six-year reenlistment minus the equivalent of one
year partial pay, since he was paid for the one good year of his second
term.
In support of his application, the applicant submits a personal statement.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving as a staff sergeant in the Air Force
Reserve with a date of enlistment of 27 February 2004, a paydate of 13
March 1992, and a projected date of separation of 26 February 2010. His
date of rank is 14 March 2000 with an effective date of 27 February 2004.
His current term of enlistment is six years.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/DPM recommends denial. DPM states the applicant was approved for a
reenlistment bonus on 23 July 1995; however, he requested to be reassigned
to a non-participating status during the second year of his reenlistment
for personal reasons. The applicant was paid a bonus of $833.33 for his
first year and a partial payment of $125.02 for the partial second year.
His reenlistment bonus was terminated upon his request for reassignment (1
May 1997).
DPM states the applicant does not meet eligibility requirements to receive
a reenlistment bonus for his 27 February 2004 reenlistment because he did
not reenlist within six months of his previous expiration term of service
(22 July 2001) and he had previously received a reenlistment bonus.
The ARPC/DPM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 3 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. We note the applicant’s assertion that
he should be given a Selected Reserve Reenlistment Bonus for enlisting into
the 2T2X1 career field; however, he has not provided any evidence showing
he was entitled to a Selected Reserve Reenlistment Bonus. We find no
evidence the applicant was miscounseled or that he was treated any
differently from other similarly situated members. 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.
Accordingly, the applicant’s request 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.

Given the implementation date for the increase of the bonus amounts was established as 1 June 2003, the applicant did in fact receive the bonus amount for which he was eligible at the time of his enlistment on 24 February 2003; thus, not warranting a change to the current bonus amount authorized for the applicant.
