RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02587
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her record be changed to show she was placed in the Retired Reserve
rather than discharged and transferred to the Non-obligated Non-
participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) of the Individual Ready
Reserve (IRR).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Air National Guard (ANG) transferred her to the IRR for the
duration of her enlistment and then she was discharged by the Air
Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC). It was her desire to retire from the
ANG. She has over 21 years of service and desires to be placed in the
Retired Reserve.
In support of her appeal, the applicant has provided copies of a
National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Report of Separation and Record
of Service, her discharge order and Honorable discharge certificate,
her 20-year letter, a point credit summary, and a Report on Individual
Personnel (RIP).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant, a former member of the Oklahoma ANG (OKANG), began her
military career on 24 June 1971. She eventually attained the grade of
staff sergeant (SSgt) with a date of rank of 7 December 1991. On 21
November 1995, she was notified by ARPC of her eligibility to receive
Reserve Retired pay at age 60 as she had completed the required years
of service to do so on 3 August 1995. On 31 December 1996, she was
honorably discharged from the OKANG and transferred to the Air Force
Reserve and assigned to the NNRPS effective 1 January 1997. She
remained in NNRPS until her ETS of 7 October 1997, whereupon she was
discharged from the Air Force Reserve (AFR).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPP recommends denial. While DPP notes the applicant is
eligible for Reserve Retired pay at age 60, they state she was also
required to apply for Reserve Retirement by submitting an AF Form 131,
Application for Transfer to the Retired Reserve, to ARPC’s Retirement
Division. A review of her record indicates she completed the service
requirements for Reserve retired pay, however, there is no indication
she ever applied for retirement. ARPC does not have any record of
receiving an AF Form 131 from her.
DPP notes at one time reservists who had met the 20-year service
requirement for Reserve retired pay at age 60, were once allowed to
reenlist for the sole purpose of applying for transfer to the Retired
Reserve. That policy was discontinued in 1993 and is no longer
available.
DPP states she is not eligible to apply for transfer to the Retired
Reserve, however, she is still eligible to apply for Reserve retired
pay at age 60.
DPP’s complete 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
23 September 2005 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 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. The record contains no evidence she ever filed
the requisite paperwork to request transfer to the Retired Reserve
during her discharge or prior to her ETS. However, she is eligible to
apply for Reserve Retired pay at age 60. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
