RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-02809
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect one year of satisfactory service for
the period of 30 Jan 83 through 14 Jan 84.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His service record no longer reflects a whole satisfactory service year for
30 Jan 83 through 14 Jan 84. He was advised by his Military Personnel
Flight that the time period in question should read as a whole satisfactory
year. He enlisted for four years and was scheduled for discharge on 30 Jan
84. The Air Force offered a 15-day early out for members leaving the
service to attend college full-time. He took advantage of the offer as he
was starting college in Jan 85.
He only noticed the discrepancy upon recently reviewing his records.
In support of the application, the applicant submits his DD Form 214 and
his ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant is an Air Force Reservist. On 5 Jun 2002, he was
assigned duties as a Security Forces Craftsman in the grade of Master
Sergeant. His Expiration Term of Service (ETS) date is 11 May 2010.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPP recommends denial. DPP states the applicant entered the
Regular Air Force on 30 Jan 80 and was released on 14 Jan 1984. He
transferred to the Air Force Reserve on 15 Jan 84.
DPP states an audit of his service history showed 3 years, 11 months and 15
days of Regular active duty service. His last year of Regular active duty
service showed 11 months and 15 days which is considered a partial year of
satisfactory service. When he transferred to the Reserve on 15 Jan 84,
this changed his service component and reestablished his
retention/retirement date as 15 Jan.
DPP notes the Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 1215.7 states when a
partial year occurs as a result of a change in service components, the
service member will be credited with a partial year of satisfactory
service. A partial year of satisfactory service is any period of less than
12 full months. The applicant’s request is prohibited by DOD.
The complete DPP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 29 Aug
08 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. The applicant’s allegations are duly
noted; however, he has not provided supporting documentation which
substantiates his claim. Therefore, in the absence of persuasive evidence
to the contrary, 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. Thus, we find no 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.

DPP contends even if she had known of the R/R date change earlier and had the opportunity to schedule her AT dates prior to the new retirement year ending (RYE) date of 21 February 2005 the additional AD points would have resulted in her RYE 21 February 2005 to show only a total of 45 points and a year of unsatisfactory service. ______________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating...

Because she was working under the assumption that her R/R date had changed to the date she started working as an ALO (11 August), her R/R year for 27 May 2006 to 26 May 2007 ended up being six (6) points shy of the 50 points required for a satisfactory year of service. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant states she never received a copy of the Special Orders dated 12 Sep 06 in the mail or at her unit. ...
