RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01669
INDEX CODE: 108.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 5 December 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Twenty-three (23) days of leave be added to his current leave balance.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to multiple real world deployments, temporary duties (TDYs), local
exercises and monthly flying requirements he was unable to take planned
leave. The changes in deployment dates, required training for exercises
and daily flying training requirements for the year prevented him from
scheduling leave adequately.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of
major with a date of rank of 1 December 2001.
The applicant lost 23 days of leave at the end of Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05).
He carried forward 60 days of leave at the beginning of FY05. He earned 30
days of leave and used seven days of leave during FY05.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSO recommends partial relief – to restore nine days of leave. DPSO
states AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, states in part that the
member’s application must clearly establish that an error or injustice by
the Air Force caused the member’s lost leave. Additionally, paragraph
4.1.4, 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. Clearly stated in paragraph 10.1 and reiterated
in the Post Deployment Recovery Time (PDRT), leave restoration memorandum
by the Director, Force Operations, members are ineligible for special leave
accrual consideration if they returned from deployment and had the
opportunity to use leave but failed to do so.
The applicant was able to take 14 days PDRT upon return from his TDY (5
September 2005). Per the 393 BS/CC, the applicant did not have enough time
to use 9 days of his use/lose leave prior to 30 September 2005 (end of the
FY) due to squadron commitments. DPSO finds no compelling evidence to
suggest PDRT could not have been replaced with use/leave leave.
The DPSO complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the evaluation and states he made every attempt to
utilize his leave. He believes it is in the best interest of the Air Force
to evaluate the leave program as draw-downs occur and more demands are
placed on individuals.
Applicant’s response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 warranting partial relief. The
applicant requests restoration of 23 days of leave. After reviewing the
evidence of record, along with the applicant's submission, it appears that
the applicant was unable to use nine days of leave due to mission
commitments and we agree with the Air Force office of primary
responsibility's recommendation that those nine days should be restored to
his leave account. We are not persuaded by the evidence presented that the
remaining 14 days should be restored. It appears that the applicant was
provided an opportunity to take leave subsequent to deployment but instead
elected to use PDRT. Therefore, we adopt the Air Force's rationale as
basis for our recommendation that only nine days be restored to his leave
account. Accordingly, 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 nine days of annual leave were
added to his leave account commencing 2 October 2006.
