RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00843
INDEX CODE: 108.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 23 SEP 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Two (2) days of leave be added to his current leave balance.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On 14 February 2006, he applied for an exception to policy for a permissive
temporary duty (PTDY); however, the package had not been coordinated on
prior to the temporary duty (TDY) and he used two days of leave to attend a
conference.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of
first lieutenant.
On 14 February 2006, the applicant applied for an exception to policy for
PTDY.
On 21-22 February 2006, the applicant used two days of leave to attend a
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sponsored event.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFF recommended denial indicating the applicant used appropriately
two days of leave, 21-22 February 2006, to attend a NASA sponsored event.
The applicant was not representing the Air Force in a Department of Defense
(DOD) sanctioned event or role. They believe that recommending approval
for an appeal of this type would set the wrong precedence. There was no
injustice on behalf of the Air Force. Charged leave was not an error or an
injustice caused by the Air Force.
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 14 April 2006, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and response 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 an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, the Board agrees with the opinion and recommendation
provided by the Air Force and adopts its rationale as the basis for our
conclusions that the applicant has not been the victim of either an error
or an injustice. It appears the applicant used two days of leave (21 and
22 February 2006) to attend a NASA sponsored event. It is noted that the
applicant was not representing the Air Force in a DOD sanctioned event or
role. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially
add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request
for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or an injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

Records reflect that based on the applicant’s condition of Chronic Constipation and Abdominal Pain, a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) convened to consider her case. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that her discharge prior to the final disposition of her medical case was of such severity to warrant her general discharge being set aside. The applicant points to the Disability Operations Branch (AFPC/DPPD) letter advising...

The IPCOT was never filed; therefore, the reason for his extension does not exist and should be canceled. His request was approved on 24 May 2005 and his date of separation was extended from 19 August 2006 to 19 January 2007. This is evidence enough the IPCOT was not approved and at that time (within 30 days) the applicant should have requested the 5-month extension be canceled.
