APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
17 December 2004 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice warranting corrective action. It
appears the applicant was miscounseled by Military Personnel Flight
(MPF) representative concerning the circumstances involving his
retraining into the Pararescue career field when he executed his
reenlistment contract on 21 September 2001 for six years. We believe,
had the applicant been properly counseled regarding his options of
extending his enlistment or reenlisting during his retraining, he
would have initially extended rather than reenlisted and would have
then been eligible for the a reenlistment bonus. In view of the
circumstances presented and in an effort to remove any possibility of
an error or injustice to the applicant, we recommend his records be
corrected to the extent 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:
a. His 21 September 2001 reenlistment for a period of six (6)
years be, and hereby is, declared void.

September 2001 enlistment for a period of 43 months.

years with entitlement to a Zone B, multiple 5.5 Selective
Reenlistment Bonus.
