RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-00701
INDEX CODE: 135.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 8 SEP 08
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 6 August 2001 be changed from an
unsatisfactory year to a satisfactory year of service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was unaware that service history points were based upon the member’s
anniversary date. He was under the impression that satisfactory service
was based upon fiscal year or calendar year requirements. He was not
informed of the requirements that determined satisfactory service.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the
appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPP recommends denial. DPP states the applicant was released from
active duty on 20 January 1999 and assigned to the Air Reserve Personnel
Center, Obligated Reserve Section. On 25 February 1999, he began
participation as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee, attached to the
439th Security Forces Squadron, Westover ARB, MA.
The applicant states that in September 2000, he was accepted into the
Police Academy of New York City. He requested a leave of absence from his
Reserve unit so that he could focus on training in the Police Academy. In
May 2001, the applicant graduated in the top 5% of his class. The leave of
absence lasting eight months contributed to his inability to meet the
minimum number of points required for a year of satisfactory service.
There is no injustice or error in the applicant’s record. Points were
awarded in the appropriate R/R year based on participation dates.
The DPP complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 March 2007, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, the Board is not
persuaded relief should be granted. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, the Board does not find these assertions, in and by
themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by
the Air Force office of primary responsibility. The Board believes the
applicant should have reasonably been aware of his requirements for
completion of a satisfactory year of Federal service. The Board found no
evidence which would lead them to believe otherwise. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board finds no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion of the Air Force office of primary responsibility that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice as there is no evidence that he did not have sufficient opportunity during the 10 months after his assignment to the 37 th SFS to earn the additional 16 points he needed for a satisfactory year of service for RYE 9 January 2008.

Because she was working under the assumption that her R/R date had changed to the date she started working as an ALO (11 August), her R/R year for 27 May 2006 to 26 May 2007 ended up being six (6) points shy of the 50 points required for a satisfactory year of service. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant states she never received a copy of the Special Orders dated 12 Sep 06 in the mail or at her unit. ...

Therefore, in 2004, he planned his Reserve duty dates based on the use of 2 June as his cut-off date to complete 50 participation points for the year. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant's submission, we are not persuaded that his uncorroborated assertion that he was miscounseled regarding his R/R date, in and by itself, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force. Exhibit C. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 13 Apr 07.
