AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03182
INDEX CODE: 112.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive the final payment of his Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) in
the amount of $6000.00.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He reenlisted in good faith and will continue to serve out his part of the
contract. Due to an Air Force error, DFAS has made the decision not to pay
his last SRB installment. The Air Force made the error not him. He
respectfully requests the Air Force uphold their end of the contract and
pay the last $6,000.00 SRB payment.
In support of his request, applicant provides a copy of the 17 Aug 07, DFAS-
DE remission letter. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment,
is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
indicates that on 3 Nov 03, the applicant reenlisted in the Air Force for a
period of six years establishing a date of separation of 2 Nov 09. He is
currently serving on active duty in the grade of staff sergeant, having
assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 Oct 05.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
DFAS-JECC/DE recommends denial. DFAS-JECC/DE states the applicant
reenlisted on 3 Nov 03, entitling him to the SRB which was established in
the amount of $60,000.00. After the initial installment of $30,000.00, the
yearly installments were in the amount of $6,000.00. In Dec 06, it was
determined the obligated service of 540 days, 3 Nov 03 through 1 May 05,
was not included in computing the SRB, thereby reducing the entitlement to
$47,231.10 and creating a debt. After the initial installment of
$23,615.55, the yearly installments were corrected to $4,723.11. On 17 Aug
07, DFAS-DE, Waivers and Remissions, informed the applicant the debt in the
amount of $20,938.23 for the period 3 Nov 03 through 3 Nov 06, will be
remitted when the term of the applicants contract is fulfilled, which will
be on 2 Nov 09. DFAS-JECC/DE advises that on 5 Nov 07, the final SRB
installment issued to the applicant was the correct amount of $4,7231.11.
The DFAS-JECC/DE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant is not entitled
to any further SRB payments. The applicant has received the authorized SRB
payment for the six-year term of enlistment plus an additional $20,938.23;
therefore, the last payment should not be made. The AFPC/DPSO complete
evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 7
Dec 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force offices 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.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
________________________________________________________________
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.

The recoupment action of his $11,581.56, Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) be waived. AFI 36-3205, Applying for the Palace Chase and Palace Front Programs, clearly states the member must repay any unearned portion of an enlistment or reenlistment bonus. The master military pay account (MMPA) shows he separated with a SPD code of KGQ which indicates the bonus is to be recouped unless he separated under Force Shaping.
