IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-03919
            INDEX NUMBER:  112.00
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  No


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  22 Jun 07


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The extension agreements he signed on 28 Sep  04  and  28  Oct  04  be
cancelled.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was counseled by the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) that he  could
extend his enlistment to gain retainability  to  receive  a  follow-on
assignment after a short overseas tour after which he could cancel the
extension and reenlist.  The only stipulation was he had  to  reenlist
before he actually entered  into  the  extension.   However,  when  he
attempted  to  cancel  the  extension,  the  MPF  at  his  short  tour
assignment informed him he had been given  incorrect  information  and
was not allowed  to  cancel  his  extension  even  if  he  reenlisted.
Consequently, when he does reenlist, he will not receive  the  maximum
Selective Reenlistment Bonus amount.  He states he has learned  he  is
not the first person this has happened to.

In support of his appeal, applicant submits copies of  AF  Form  1411,
“Extension or Cancellation of Enlistment in the Regular Air  Force/Air
Force Reserve.”

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is presently serving on active  duty  in  the  grade  of
staff sergeant (SSgt).  He entered into his current  enlistment  on  2
Feb 01 for a period  of  five  years,  which  established  a  date  of
separation (DOS) of 1 Feb 06.  In Jul 04, the  applicant  received  an
assignment and was required to  obtain  one  month  of  retainability,
which he did on 28 Sep 04.  The applicant later received  notification
of an  approved  follow-on  assignment  and  was  required  to  obtain
additional retainability to qualify for the assignment.  On 28 Oct 04,
the applicant again extended his enlistment for 25 months  to  qualify
for the assignment.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends partial approval  of  the  applicant’s  request.
They recommend that the extensions executed by the applicant on 28 Sep
and 28 Oct 04 be declared void and that his records  be  corrected  to
show that on 28 Sep 04, he entered into an extension for a  period  of
48 months, with entitlement to a Selective Reenlistment  Bonus  (SRB),
Zone B, Multiple 5.5 (to be paid on the day the applicant  enters  the
extension, provided  he  remains  qualified).   This  will  allow  the
applicant to qualify for both his assignments and,  by  extending  the
maximum of 48 months, he would be entitled to 48 months of SRB once he
enters the extension in Feb 06.

AFPC/DPPAE  provides  a  copy  of  an  extract   from   AFI   36-2606,
“Reenlistment in the Air Force.”

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is  at  Exhibit
C.
