IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01059
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be issued a DD Form 2 AF, (Reserve)(Red) Identification (ID)
Card.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not agree with the regulation stating this earned
benefit is no longer authorized. He enlisted in February 1963
as a communications officer and was honorably discharged as a
captain. He transferred to the active Reserves. He had several
conversations with the Air Force Academy recruiting office and
was an advisor for the Civil Air Patrol. He considers these
assignments completion of his remaining nine and a half years of
commitment.
He was involuntarily transferred to the Reserves without pay or
medical benefits but was authorized the DD Form 2 AF, Red ID
Card, to gain access to military installations for the services
he was authorized to receive. His card was confiscated by the
Wyoming National Guard and he was told it was no longer
authorized.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and documents from his Master Personnel Record.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served in the Air National Guard from 7 February
1963 to 15 July 1970. After tendering his resignation, he was
honorably discharged from the Minnesota ANG and transferred to
the Reserves. On 31 July 1981, he was assigned to the Retired
Reserve Section which entitled him to the DD Form 2 AF (Reserve)
(Red).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPTT recommends denial. The applicant was assigned to the
Honorary Retired Reserve (HRR) and issued an Armed Forces
Identification Card, DD Form 2 AF Reserve effective 31 July
1981. He attained the age of 37 and completed a minimum of
8 years of service as described in 10 U.S.C. 1332 (A)(2), but
was not eligible for retirement pay at age 60.
The HRR program was eliminated when DOD Directive 1200.15 was
revoked and replaced by an updated version which no longer
authorized the program. Air Force Instruction 36-3026, Identification Card for Members of the Uniformed Services, Their
Eligible Family Members, and Other Eligible Personnel, states
Do not issue the DD Form 2 ID Card to honorary retirees, they
are no longer entitled to an ID Card, per public Law 101-510.
The complete DPTT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reiterates he continued periodic communication
with the Reserve office to continue his service as an Academy
recruiter or Civil Air Patrol coordinator. These assignments
contributed to his reserve retirement.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, 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 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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of this 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 the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Additionally, the fact the applicant does not agree with the
change in policy that eliminated his entitlement to the DD Form
2AF does not constitute error or injustice. It appears this
policy is being equally applied to all members similarly
situated. The applicant has not provided details of why his ID
card was confiscated; however, the policy does not allow for it
to be replaced. 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.

The board recommended the applicant’s case be referred to the Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB). He further offers that this category of retired reserve exists because other services still recognize and use that specific terminology in their regulations when transferring reservists within that service.
