                        RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-03272
            INDEX CODE:  128.05
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment contract be honored as written or his  enlistment  be
reconstructed to qualify him  for  the  selective  reenlistment  bonus
(SRB) given to his AFSC.  If this request is  approved,  he  wants  to
change from a four-year enlistment to a six-year enlistment.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In February 2006, he inquired about reenlistment.   He  was  told  his
career  field  qualified  for  an  SRB.   He   reenlisted   with   the
understanding he was receiving an SRB.  Six months later  he  inquired
on the status and was informed he did  not  qualify  for  a  SRB.   In
September 2007, AFPC stated he reenlisted too early and  the  SRB  did
not take effect until June or July of 2006.

In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his DD Form
4-1. Enlistment/Reenlistment Document,  Armed  Forces  of  the  United
States and AF IMT 901, Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 21 April 1999, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force  for
a period of four years.

On 6 February 2006, he reenlisted in the Air Force  for  a  period  of
four years and 14 months.  An AF IMT 901 was initiated  that  provided
for a Zone A, Multiple 2, SRB for four years.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states the applicant was assigned
to  an  overseas  location.   On  6  February  2006,  he  initiated  a
reenlistment for a period of 4 years and 14 months. At the time of his
reenlistment, there was no SRB authorized in  his  AFSC.   On  26  May
2006, the Air Force announced program changes for the SRB program.  As
stated  in  the  announcement  message,  the  effective  date  of  all
additions and increases were effective 1 June 2006.  He  executed  his
reenlistment 6 February 2006, almost 120  days  before  the  announced
effective date of the SRB.  There was no SRB authorized at the time of
his enlistment.  As such the contract as written  should  be  declared
contractually in error and corrected in accordance with the AFI;  with
no SRB authorized.  Additionally, he is not eligible to execute a six-
year reenlistment as it exceeds  the  authorized  term  of  enlistment
authorized by the Air Force.

The complete DPSOA evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1
February 2008, for review and comment within  30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office.  (Exhibit C).

_________________________________________________________________

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.  Evidence has not been  presented
which would lead us to  believe  that  the  rules  of  the  applicable
regulations, which implement Air Force  policy,  were  inappropriately
applied or that he was denied rights to which  he  was  entitled.   In
this regard, the applicant is requesting that he be authorized a  Zone
A, Multiple 2, SRB as reflected on his 6  February  2006  reenlistment
contract.  However, at the time of his reenlistment, he had  completed
over 6 years and 10 months of service and was not  in  Zone  A,  which
ends  at  6 years  of  service,  but   was   actually   in   Zone   B.
Unfortunately, members in Zone B, having between 6  and  10  years  of
service, were not authorized  an  SRB  at  the  time.   Therefore,  it
appears that he was not authorized an SRB and we are not persuaded  by
his assertions  that  his  records  should  be  corrected  to  reflect
otherwise.  In view of the above and absent persuasive 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 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.
