RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03160 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. Her Mandatory Separation Date (MSD) of 9 August 2010 be 
extended to 12 June 2012 and all pay and points be adjusted to 
aid in the completion of 20 years of good service beyond age 60. 

 

2. In the alternate, she be granted an early retirement. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She had a short suspense to complete the MSD waiver process 90 
days prior to her MSD. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of a 
retention waiver and letters from her commander. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was an Individual Mobilization Augmentee nurse in 
the Air Force Reserve (AFR) Unit Program assigned to the 60th 
Medical Group at Travis AFB, CA serving in the grade of 
lieutenant colonel (O-5). 

 

On 26 June 2008, the applicant was notified by ARPC/DPPRS that 
she was required to leave active status effective 1 June 2009 in 
accordance with (IAW) Title 10, USC section 14507(a). 

 

On 12 August 2009, the applicant requested an MSD waiver through 
the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR). 
On 9 April 2010, the AFBCMR granted her MSD waiver to 9 August 
2010 to process her extension request through her chain of 
command. 

 

On 9 August 2010, the applicant was honorably discharged. Based 
on her point summary, she has 17 years of satisfactory service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/SG2 recommends denial. SG2 states it does not appear 
appropriate for the AFBCMR to extend the applicant’s MSD a 
second time without the complete coordination of her chain of 
command and the recommendation from the AFRC/CC. The applicant 
failed to take action in a timely manner which resulted in her 
request not completing coordination by her chain of command 
prior to her MSD of 9 August 2010. The MSD extension should 
have been submitted by the applicant in April 2009 after 
notification of extension of her MSD to 9 August 2010 to allow 
for processing through the chain of command. 

 

The complete SG2 evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant states she has the support from 60th Medical Group 
to continue her participation to reach her 20 year mark. The 
last two requests for the extension of her MSD waiver to her age 
have been challenging; however, she feels her experience and 
skills are valuable support to the active duty airmen. 

 

Her goal is to retire from the AFR. She requests the AFBCMR 
reconsider the recommendation and approve her request or in the 
alternate, grant her an early retirement. It is her 
understanding that after 18 years of honorable service, a member 
is granted sanctuary to complete 20 years. 

 

The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case to include her response to the Air Force 
evaluation; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the 
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error or injustice. While the applicant states 
personnel with 18 or more years of service are granted sanctuary 
to complete 20 years of service; this is only applicable to 
officers with 18 years of satisfactory service. Based on the 
applicant’s point summary, we note that she had only 17 years of 


satisfactory service. Therefore, 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.
