RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03602
		INDEX CODE:  121.00
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Four days of leave be restored to his current leave balance.
________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had scheduled leave for the last week of September 2007 for 
use/lose leave. On 21 September 2007 he was informed by USAFE 
that he would need to go on temporary duty (TDY) to Aviano Air 
Base Italy. Due to circumstances beyond his control he had to 
cancel his leave and therefore will have lost days of annual 
leave unless it is restored. 

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of DD Form 
1610, Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DOD Personnel. 

Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is attached at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of lieutenant colonel.  

The applicant carried forward 59 days of leave at the beginning 
of Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07). He earned 30 days of leave 
throughout FY07. He used 28 days of leaving during FY07. His 
ending balance at the end of FY07 was 61 days. The applicant 
lost one day of leave. 

________________________________________________________________
_

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSI recommends restoring only one day of leave.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 December 2007 for review and response within 30 
days.  As of this date, this office has received no response.

________________________________________________________________
_

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 warranting a partial 
grant.  The applicant contends that because he was informed by 
USAFE that he would need to go TDY to Aviano Air Base Italy, he 
was unable to take leave during this period and as a result, he 
lost 4 days of leave at the end of the fiscal year.  However, 
the Air Force has indicated that he was authorized to carry 
forward 59 days of leave at the beginning of FY07, used 28 days 
during FY07, and therefore, only lost 1 day of leave at the end 
of FY07.  We have received no evidence from the applicant 
refuting the Air Force's evaluation.  Therefore, it appears that 
the appropriate corrective action to be taken in this case would 
be to partially approve his request by restoring 1 day of leave 
to his leave account.  Accordingly, we recommend his records be 
corrected as 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 one (1) 
day of annual leave were added to his leave account commencing 2 
October 2007.
