RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                    DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-02801
                                     INDEX CODE:  112.00
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX                COUNSEL:  NONE
                                     HEARING DESIRED:  NO

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for his current Air  Force  Specialty
Code (AFSC) be corrected.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Current Military Personnel Flight records indicate that his SRB  is  Zone  C
with a multiple 1.0.   His  AF  Form  1411,  Extension  or  Cancellation  of
Extensions of  Enlistment  in  the  Regular  Air  Force/Air  Force  Reserve,
specifies his correct SRB skills authorization as Zone C, Multiple 2.5.   As
of 30 Aug 07, he has received no  SRB  payments  under  the  terms  of  this
enlistment extension.

In support of his request, applicant provides a  personal  statement  and  a
copy of his AF Form 1411.  His complete submission, with attachments, is  at
Exhibit A.

__________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from  the  Military  Personnel  Data  System  (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date  as  10
Mar 92.  He is currently serving on active duty in the  grade  of  technical
sergeant, having assumed that grade effective and with a  date  of  rank  of
1 Sep 05.

On 29 Apr 05, the applicant, who  had  an  established  date  of  separation
(DOS) of 14 May 07, extended his Mar 02 – Apr 06  enlistment  for  a  period
of 48 months, thereby establishing a new DOS 14 May 11.

__________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE advises  that  although  the  applicant
was eligible to extend for the assignment, an extension  of  his  enlistment
placed the applicant outside the parameters of Zone C.  The personal  choice
to extend and maximize the SRB resulted in a complete loss  of  entitlement.
However, advises  DPPAE,  the  Board  may  declare  the  48-month  extension
executed void; and direct the applicant was honorably discharged on  28  Apr
05 and reenlisted in the regular Air Force on 29 Apr  05  for  a  period  of
4 years and 24 months.  This will  allow  the  applicant  to  get  some  SRB
(approximately  10  months).   The  AFPC/DPPAE  complete  evaluation,   with
attachments, is at Exhibit C.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 26  Oct
07 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  injustice.   After  a  thorough  review  of  the  evidence
presented, it appears  the  applicant  did  not  have  adequate  information
regarding the ramifications to his future SRB  entitlements  imposed  by  an
extension.  We believe had the applicant  known  that  his  extension  would
result in a complete loss  of  SRB  entitlement;  he  would  have  opted  to
reenlist.  In view of the foregoing, we believe any  doubt  in  this  matter
should be resolved in his favor.  We therefore find that by  correcting  his
records in the following manner, he will  be  afforded  proper  and  fitting
relief.   Accordingly,  we  recommend  that  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:

      a.  The extension of his 15 February 2002 enlistment executed on 29
April 2005, for a period of 48 months, be declared void.


            b.  He was honorably discharged on 28 April 2005 and  reenlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 29 April 2005 for a period  of  four  (4)  years
and twenty-four (24) months with entitlement to  a  Zone  C,  Multiple  1.0,
Selective Reenlistment Bonus, based on 10 months of continued service.
