                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-01505
            INDEX CODE:  135.02

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  18 JAN 2008


___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be credited with retirement points  for  the  period  21  May  –
20 Jul 84 for Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 18 Feb 85.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes it is unfair to be commissioned as an officer on active
duty performing work that he received pay for but not participation
points.  He was commissioned on 19 Feb 82 and received an education
delay to attend law school.  Between his second and third  year  of
law school he was ordered to active duty to serve as a legal intern
during the summer of 1984.  Based on the regulation  in  effect  at
the time, he received pay but no points.

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

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant was commissioned an officer in the  Reserve  of  the  Air
Force on 18 Feb 82.  He served as a legal intern from 21 May  84  –
20 Jul 84  and  was  paid  for  a  61-day  special  tour.   He  was
progressively promoted to the grade of lieutenant  colonel  with  a
promotion service date and date of rank of 1 Apr 00.

On 12 Aug 06, he was honorably transferred to the Retired  Reserve,
and credited with 21 years of satisfactory federal service.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPP recommended denial, stating, in part, while the  member
was in the Legal Intern Program,  the  relative  guidance  was  Air
Force Regulation 35-41 Volume II, Reserve  Personnel  Policies  and
Procedures  Reserve  Training.    Individuals   assigned   to   the
Individual Ready Reserve, Category J,  9035  Air  Reserve  Squadron
were allowed pay only.

The member was part of the program which consisted of  commissioned
Air Force Reserve Officer Training  Corps  graduates  to  train  on
active Air Force installations for 60 to 90 days  normally  between
their second and third academic years of law  school.   The  member
received  pay  for  his  active  duty  training.   The   regulation
specifies that no points are credited; pay only is allowed.

HQ ARPC/DPP’S 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 4 Aug 06 for review and comment within  30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

___________________________________________________________________

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.  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.  Based on the evidence of record and  that  verified  by  the
HQ Air Reserve Personnel Center (HQ ARPC), the applicant was  given
credit  for  all  of  his  participation  in  accordance  with  the
governing  directive  in  effect  at  the  time.   Reserve  members
assigned to Category J, were allowed pay only for active duty while
in the Legal Intern Program.  Therefore, we agree with the  opinion
and recommendation of the Air Reserve Personnel  Center  and  adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the  applicant
has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  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.
