RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03172 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Date Initial Entry Reserve Forces (DIERF) and his Date of 
Rank (DOR) be changed from 18 Apr 11 to 2 Mar 11. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

As an active duty Chaplain, he was nonselected for retention by 
the Reduction in Force (RIF) that convened in 2010. He accepted 
the offer and applied for the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) under 
the PALACE FRONT program. He completed the process to enter the 
Air Force Reserve (AFR) as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee 
(IMA) and was told he would not incur a break in service. 
However, through no fault of his own, he separated from active 
duty and was not gained to the AFR until 19 Apr 11. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides e-mail 
communications and a copy of his AF IMT 1288, Application for 
Ready Reserve Assignment. 

 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in 
this Record of Proceedings. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K states the applicant accepted 
the Oath of Office as a Reserve officer on 18 Apr 11. The 
applicant’s appointment package was submitted to the Secretary of 
Defense which approved his Reserve appointment on 18 Apr 11. 
Thus, as a matter of record, the applicant’s DIERF cannot be 
prior to the date that he accepted the Oath of Office, i.e., the 


member is not a Reserve officer until such time as the Oath of 
Office is executed. Consequently, the command does not have the 
latitude to change any applicable military service dates that are 
prior to becoming a member of the AFR. 

 

The complete AFRC/A1K 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 4 Nov 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. 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 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. 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.
