MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  7 JAN 2007

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be given a constructive reenlistment effective 30  April  2004,  for
six years and be awarded a Zone A, Multiple 4.0  Selective  Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She did not receive proper notification of her eligibility  to  reenlist
and subsequently lost eligibility to receive an SRB.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a  personal  statement,
five emails relating to SRB  Terminations/Reductions,  a  copy  of  AFPC
message, Career Job Reservation (CJR) Program Update, CJR/SRB Worksheet,
CJR Computer Printout, excerpts from AFI 36-2606,  Personal  Data  Sheet
and a list of Chronology of Events.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an  airman  basic  on
14 April 1999, for a term  of  6  years.   Upon  graduation  from  basic
training she attended technical school and was trained  in  AFSC  2E831,
Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems.

On 10 July 2003, she extended  her  enlistment  from  13 April  2005  to
13 April 2006.  On 26 January 2004, applicant requested her extension be
cancelled and on 4 March 2004, the 12 month extension was cancelled.



On 7 April 2004 applicant applied for a CJR and was approved on 14 April
2004.  Her ETS was established as 13 April 2005.

She currently serves in the grade of Staff Sergeant (SSgt/E-5).

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states effective 29 April 2004, the
applicant’s SRB was deleted and she was not eligible to reenlist at that
time to receive the SRB due to her not being within  3 months  prior  to
her expiration term of service (ETS).

According to DPPAE, effective 1 May 2004, there  was  a  policy  change,
which now states “Upon approval of a CJR, first term airmen (to  include
CAREERS retrainees) can now request immediate  reenlistment  instead  of
waiting 3 months prior to  ETS”.   The  applicant  is  now  eligible  to
reenlist effective 1 May 2004; however, the SRB is no longer available.

DPPAE’s complete 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
22 July 05, for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date,  no
response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

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 she has been treated any  differently
than others who were similarly situated.  Therefore, we agree  with  the
opinions and  recommendations  of  the  Air  Force  offices  of  primary
responsibility and adopt their 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.

    DPPAE states that when the Air Staff reduced the reenlistment window from 12 to 3 months and deleted the SRB in his career field, the applicant was not eligible to reenlist. Evidence indicates that the applicant was not eligible to reenlist on or before the date the Air Force reduced the reenlistment window from 12 months to 3 months on 5 March 2004 because his 12-month prior-to-ETS date was 13 March 2004. _________________________________________________________________ The following...
