RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-04218
INDEX CODE: 112.07
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment date be changed from 29 Aug 08 to 15 Sep 08, so that he
may qualify for a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On or about 20 Jun 08, he was contacted through the virtual Military
Personnel Flight (vMPF) that his date of separation (DOS) was within 150
days; his DOS at the time was 22 Nov 08. While completing the Transaction
Report and Control (TRAC) briefing, he was notified that he was eligible
for a SRB. He contacted the local reenlistment office and was informed
that the system was in error and he was not eligible for a SRB. He
believed the person he spoke with to be an expert in the matter, so he
continued with his reenlistment. His paperwork was prepared and he
reenlisted on 29 Aug 08.
At the time of his reenlistment, he had approximately four months until his
DOS, but he decided to be proactive and complete his reenlistment as soon
as possible. He is aware no one in his chain of command could have known
about the pending SRB announcement; however, had he waited two weeks longer
to reenlist, he would have qualified for the bonus.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his AF IMT 910,
Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant’s current Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) is 60F51
(Financial Management and Comptroller).
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 AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states the applicant reenlisted on
29 Aug 08 for four years and two months. The applicant’s AFSC was on the
new 15 Sep 08 SRB Listing. He was informed no one could have known when
the next change to the SRB listing would occur as the SRB listing had been
unchanged since Dec 07. Air Staff announces changes with effective dates
as soon as possible after the review is complete. DPPAE states the changes
were not known until 12 Sep 08 and they were released the same day.
DPPAE notes the SRB implementation memo clearly states “…Any reenlistment
or extension of any length, executed prior to the release of USAF/A1
Message 12 Sep 08, are valid and will remain firm. No provisions will be
authorized to grandfather any reenlistment/extension under this new
guidance.”
The complete DPPAE 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 23 Dec
09, 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented 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 do not
find the information provided by the applicant sufficiently persuasive to
override the rationale provided by the Air Force. Therefore, 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. In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, 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.
