RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01075
INDEX CODE: 135.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with 7 non-paid Inactive Duty Training (IDT) points
for retirement/retention (R/R) year 24 Feb 06 to 23 Feb 07.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was confused by a letter that he received from the Air Force
Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) dated 11 Jan 06
that corrected his records to reflect he had satisfactory Federal
service for R/R years 2002-2003 and 2004-2005. He continued using
his previously recorded R/R date of 7 Aug while participating in
the Reserve program. He believes the R/R points accomplished
before and after R/R 2006 are reflective of his confusion of his
actual R/R date.
In support of his request, applicant provides excerpts from his
AFBCMR approval package dated 11 Jan 06 and a copy of his point
credit summary sheets.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was commissioned in the Regular Air Force on 24 Feb
94. He transferred to the Air Force Reserve (AFR) on 11 Aug 00 and
was progressively promoted to the grade of major (0-4), having
assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 12 Oct 02.
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System
(MilPDS) reflects the applicant has 14 years of satisfactory
Federal service since 23 Feb 95.
The applicant applied to the AFBCMR in Oct 05 to have his records
corrected. It appears when he entered the AFR, his R/R date was
initially entered into the system as 7 Aug. In 2004, an audit was
accomplished and found his R/R date was inaccurately established as
7 Aug; however, his R/R date was then corrected and updated in the
system as 24 Feb. The AFBCMR corrected his records on 11 Jan 06 to
reflect he had the mandatory 50 points and received satisfactory
R/R years for 2002-2003 and 2004-2005.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPP recommends denial. DPP states the correction to the
applicants records occurred one month prior to his new R/R date of
24 Feb. The entire point of his last records correction was to
eliminate the confusion and the Board agreed with the
recommendation for the previous claim because an injustice
occurred. In this request, the applicant was definitely aware of
his correct R/R date before the retirement year began.
The ARPC/DPP complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded by reiterating his original contentions;
however, he explains that at times he continued to refer to his
old participation plan and at other times he looked at the new
plan which may have caused the confusion on his part. He also
provides additional documentation to support his contentions.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit D.
___________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, the Board majority agrees with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopts 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, the Board
majority find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in
this application.
_________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
A majority of the panel finds insufficient evidence of error or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.

DPP states that the applicant was voluntarily assigned to an inactive reserve section from 21 November 2001 until 11 September 2002, when he accepted the IMA position. DPP notes that the fact that the member was assigned to inactive status for a majority of his R/R year, plus the fact that he did not earn 35 points during the time he was in a participating assignment, resulted in him not being credited with a satisfactory year of service. We took notice of the applicant's complete...
