RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-01226
            INDEX CODE:  121.03
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE:  22 OCTOBER 2007

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 24 days of lost leave be restored.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to scheduled training,  deployment  and  numerous  other  exercises,  he
could not take all 30  days  of  earned  leave  during  FY  2005.   A  class
prevented him from taking any  leave  in  the  first  quarter  of  FY  2005.
Later, his squadron deployed in support of a mission.  He  was  subsequently
deployed for 130 days, and his squadron participated in  numerous  exercises
and inspections during 2005.

In support of the application, he submits copies of his travel vouchers.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in  the  grade  of  major.
According to information  provided  by  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility,  the  applicant  was  not  allowed  to  take  his  remaining
use/lose leave due to end of year training requirements.  He was provided  a
four-day commander’s pass in conjunction with six days  of  post  deployment
recovery time (PDRT) for a total of 10 days.   He  requested  an  additional
week of leave following the 10 days but was denied leave due to  a  squadron
reactivation ceremony.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPSO recommends restoration of 14 days of leave.  DPSO  affirms  AFI
36-3003, Military Leave Program, note below  para  10.9.7,  states  in  part
member’s application must clearly establish that an error  or  injustice  by
the Air Force caused the member’s lost  leave.   Additionally,  para  4.1.4,
Use of Leave, recommends members be given the opportunity to take  at  least
one leave period of 14 consecutive days or more each FY and encourages  them
to use the 30 days  of  leave  they  accrue  each  year.   DPSO  opines  the
applicant had the opportunity to take 10 days of his 24 use/lose  leave  but
chose to use DPRT.

The 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 19  May
2006 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this  date,  this  office
has received no response (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided  by  existing  law  or
regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence  has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of an error or injustice.  The applicant has requested 24 days  of
leave be  restored  to  his  account.   The  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility recommends we restore 14 days to his account, and  we  agree.
In addition, we find he is entitled to an additional seven (7) days for  the
week that was cancelled due to his squadron mission.   Therefore,  with  the
recommendation from DPSO and our recommended correction, the applicant  will
be given 21 days of restored leave.  The applicant  should  understand  that
all leave days in excess of 60 must be taken  by  the  end  of  the  current
fiscal year.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT be corrected by adding 21 days of annual  leave  to  his  leave
account commencing 2 October 2005.
