RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02190 

COUNSEL: NO 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His record be corrected to reflect his discharge date from the 
Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) as 12 August 1999 
rather than 13 January 2007. 

 

2. Any debt (overpayment of pay and allowances based on 
longevity) incurred due to the requested adjustment of his time 
in ISLRS be waived. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He spent nine years in ISLRS. In accordance with Air Force 
Instruction 36-2115, he was to remain in ISLRS for no longer than 
three years. He was unaware that the time spent in ISLRS would 
count towards his Total Federal Commissioned Service Date 
(TFCSD). With this additional time spent in ISLRS, he is 
currently unable to obtain 20 satisfactory years of service 
before his mandatory separation date (MSD). 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, and copies of his notification of assignment to ISLRS, 
ISLRS assignment order, ISLRS discharge order, Statement of 
Agreement and Understanding (for Air National Guard appointment), 
security clearance Statement of Understanding, Statement of 
Understanding for Officer Appointment, and Statement of 
Understanding (for waiving disability compensation and for 
repayment of his Special Separation Benefits. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving as a member of the 
Massachusetts Air National Guard in the grade of major (O-4). He 
was a recipient in the Special Selection Board (SSB) Program 
which obligated him to spend three years in the Non-Obligated, 
Non-Participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) until 11 August 
1996. He was then transferred into ISLRS until his discharge 
from all appointments on 26 July 2005. He was subsequently 


appointed to the Massachusetts Air National Guard on 13 January 
2007.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPT recommends approving the applicant’s request to correct 
his record to show he was discharged from ISLRS effective 
11 August 1999. DPT states that in accordance with Air Force 
Instruction 36-2115, paragraph 4.4.2.7, Reserve officers 
generally remain assigned to ISLRS for three years after which 
time they can be screened for discharge. 

 

DPT indicates it was discovered that the time the applicant spent 
in ISLRS in excess of three years would not allow him to obtain 
20 years of satisfactory service before his MSD. If the 
applicant’s request is approved, his pay date and his TFCSD would 
be changed from 28 January 1987 to 13 January 1993. Any debt 
issues would be better addressed by the Defense Finance and 
Accounting Service (DFAS). 

 

The complete DPT evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

DFAS-IN recommends partial approval of the applicant’s requests. 
DFAS-IN concurs that the applicant’s record should be corrected 
to adjust his time spent in ISLRS from 12 August 1996 through 
13 January 2007, to a release date from ISLRS effective 12 August 
1999. This correction will change the applicant’s TFCSD and Pay 
Entry Basic Date (PEBD) which maintains updates to pay based on 
longevity; and, will cause the applicant to incur a debt. As 
this change is a benefit to allow him to obtain 20 satisfactory 
years of service before his MSD, the collection of the over-
payment of pay and allowances based on longevity should be 
collected at such a rate as to not put the applicant in a 
financial hardship. 

 

The complete DFAS-IN evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 28 October 2011, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received 
no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 


2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant 
partial relief. After a thorough review of the evidence 
submitted and the applicant’s military personnel records, we 
agree with recommendation from the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility in regard to correcting the applicant’s record to 
show he was discharged from ISLRS effective 12 August 1999 rather 
than 13 January 2007. In regard to the applicant’s request to 
waive any debt incurred due to the adjustment of his time in 
ISLRS, the Board notes the recommendation of DFAS-IN regarding 
the collection of any debt incurred. However, the Board believes 
it would be premature to take any corrective action on a debt 
without pertinent information regarding the debt. Also, when a 
debt is established, the applicant should exhaust available 
administrative remedies before making this request to the Board. 
Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as 
indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to reflect that he was 
discharged from the Inactive Status List Reserve Section 
effective 12 August 1999 rather than 13 January 2007.
