RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02415
INDEX CODE: 115.02
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 15 February 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His enlistment date be changed from 10 July 2005 to 1 January 2007,
which is his high-year-of-tenure date (HYTD), and he be reinstated to
active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was denied reenlistment by both his supervisor and squadron
commander, and was only authorized an extension of his enlistment to
10 January 2005, thus making him unable to meet the next E-8 Selection
Board and forcing him to retire. His desire was to reenlist and
remain on active duty until his HYTD.
In support of his appeal, the applicant includes a personal statement;
copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty; 437 Air Wing Inspector General Report, dated 27 January
2005; and Airlift Military Command Inspector General Report, dated 17
June 2005.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 January 1981, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force at
the age of 19 in the grade of airman basic (E-1) for a period of four
years. He was trained and served in the Aircrew Life Support career
field and was progressively promoted to the grade of master sergeant
(E-7) effective and with a date of rank of 1 May 1995.
On 12 April 2004, the applicant applied for retirement and on 16 April
2004, he requested a seven-month extension to his 11 July 1997
reenlistment. The purpose stated on his extension request is “retire
during a requested extension period.” The extension request was
approved on 19 April 2004, establishing a date of separation of 10
February 2005.
The applicant was honorably discharged effective 31 January 2005 under
the provisions of AFI 36-3203 with a reentry code 2V (applied for
retirement or retirement has been approved) and a separation code of
RBD (sufficient service for retirement). He subsequently retired
effective 1 February 2005. The applicant served 24 years and 29 days
of active duty.
On 22 February 2006, the Air Force Board for Correction of Military
Records (AFBCMR) considered and approved the applicant’s request to
void and remove from his records, his Senior Enlisted Performance
Report rendered for the period 31 May 2003 through 30 May 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be denied. DPPAE states
based on the sequence of events, the applicant voluntarily applied for
retirement, and then requested an extension. If his commander had
denied his reenlistment, then he should not have authorized the
applicant’s extension request. Individuals not recommended for
reenlistment at the time are not authorized an extension. Following a
review of the applicant’s records, DPPAE found no evidence of an error
or injustice, nor did the applicant submit any documentation showing
he was formally denied reenlistment. In fact, the applicant’s
reenlistment eligibility code, at the time of his request for an
extension, was 1Q, “Eligible to reenlist, career airman with more than
20 years TAFMS, selected by commander under the SRP, and either 13
months or less remain before original ETS, or the airman is serving on
an extension of enlistment.”
The DPPAE evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In behalf of the applicant, an American Legion representative
responded by reiterating the applicant’s contentions.
The American Legion’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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We note the applicant’s
assertion that he was denied reenlistment, thus forcing him to retire;
however, we find no evidence to support this contention. The evidence
of record indicates when the applicant voluntarily applied for
retirement, his RE code reflected he was eligible to reenlist. Based
on the above, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. Accordingly, the applicant’s request
is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

Therefore, the first date that the applicant was eligible for reenlistment was 1 May 2004. Evidence supports that even though the applicant was eligible to reenlist upon receiving his 3-skill level in June 2003, it appears his action to delay his reenlistment until March 2004 was solely his own choice. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 15 September 2004, under the...
