                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-01952
            INDEX CODE:  128.05

            COUNSEL:  NOT INDICATED

            HEARING DESIRED: NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  1 JAN 2008


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment on 14 December 2005 be declared void and his  8 January
2002 enlistment be extended for 23 months.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was miscounseled when he was attempting to obtain  the  retainability
to attend Air Traffic Control, 1C1X1 Air  Force  Specialty  Code  (AFSC)
Technical training.

In support of his appeal, the applicant  provided  four  Memorandums  of
Record, a Personal Data Sheet and a copy of  his  Retraining  Counseling
Statement.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman first class
on 8 January 2002, for a  term  of  four  years  and  was  progressively
promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt/E-5).

On 26 July 2005, he was approved for retraining into the 1X1X1 AFSC with
a class start date of 20 April 2006, and a graduation date  of  21  June
2006.  On 14 December 2005, he reenlisted for a term of four  years  for
retraining giving him a date of separation of 13 December 2009.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states in part  the  applicant  was
required to obtain 21-months of control  duty  assignment  (CDA)  rather
than 36-months CDA as previously stated in the initial advisory.  A  23-
month extension would not have met the CDA requirements  for  the  AFSC.
If the applicant would have failed to get the  full  CDA,  his  training
into the 1C1X1 AFSC would have been  cancelled.   After  completing  the
training and obtaining the required special experience  identifier,  the
applicant can reenlist in accordance with established procedures in  the
1C1X1 AFSC and receive any authorized SRB payments at that time.

DPPAE’s complete evaluations, with attachments, are at Exhibit C and D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant states he found a list  of  required  CDA’s  organized  by
AFSC.  The list is  dated  newer  than  AFI  36-2626,  which  states  an
outdated requirement.  He also included  a  memorandum  from  the  Chief
Comptroller attesting to his contentions.

His complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.

A copy of the corrected Air  Force  evaluation,  with  attachments,  was
forwarded to the applicant on 27 Nov 06, for review and  comment  within
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   After  a  thorough  review  of  the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that
the  applicant  should  be  given  the  relief  requested.   Applicant’s
contentions are duly noted; however,  we  found  no  evidence  that  the
applicant was miscounseled or that he has been treated  any  differently
than others who were similarly situated.   We  note  the  applicant  was
required to obtain 21-months of CDA and a 23-month extension  would  not
have met the CDA requirements for Air Traffic Control retraining. If the
applicant had failed to get the full CDA, his retraining into  the  AFSC
would have been cancelled.  Therefore, the  applicant  was  required  to
reenlist to obtain the CDA to retrain in the Air Traffic  Control  AFSC.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling  basis
to recommend granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
