APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be granted service credit for the time he was  involuntarily  separated
from service.

RESUME OF CASE

In February 2006,  the  applicant  applied  to  the  AFBCMR  to  have  his
discharge upgraded from under other than honorable conditions  (UOTHC)  to
honorable.  He had been discharged for non-participation and had  received
an UOTHC discharge; however, only the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF) can
approve an UOTHC discharge.  The Indiana Air National Guard  (INANG)  only
had the authority to discharge the applicant with either an honorable or a
general discharge under the circumstances.   The  ANG  Office  of  Primary
Responsibility (OPR), noting the improper service characterization, agreed
with the applicant and recommended that the AFBCMR grant his request.

The AFBCMR granted his application on 6 June 2006 and  his  discharge  was
subsequently upgraded (Exhibit A).

On 5 August 2008, the Board received a  request  for  reconsideration  for
relief  related  to  his  discharge  upgrade.   He  contends  because  his
discharge was upgraded and he has enlisted with an Air Force Reserve  unit
in Indiana, he should receive credit for the  time  he  was  involuntarily
discharged from military service.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PS concurs with the ANG subject matter expert (SME)  and  recommends
denial of the applicants request for participation point credit during the
time he was involuntarily discharged.  As  the  applicant  did  not  serve
during the time frame indicated, he is not, by regulation,  authorized  to
receive participation points.

A1PS’s 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 09 for review and comment  within  30  days.   As  of  this  date,  no
response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing this application and the evidence provided  in  support  of
his appeal, we find that  the  applicant  has  failed  to  demonstrate  the
existence of 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  office  of  primary
responsibility and adopt its 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  probable  material  error  or  injustice;  and  that  the
application  will  only  be  reconsidered  upon  the  submission  of   newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered this application in  Executive
Session on 7 October 2009 and 30 November 2009, under the provisions of  AFI
36-2603:
