RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03479 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

_____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 1411, Extension or Cancellation for Extensions of 
Enlistment in the Regular Air Force/Air Force Reserve, be 
corrected to reflect he was under the Stop Loss program. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His AF Form 1411 and DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
– Armed Forces of the United States, do not show whether his 
extensions were involuntary or voluntary. 

 

The extension had to be involuntary because “Stop Loss” was in 
effect; however, the DD Form 1411 does not reflect “Stop Loss.” 

 

In researching the time period between Dec 2001 through 
Dec 2003, his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), 2S071, Materiel 
Management, was under the “Stop Loss” program. 

 

He was tasked to deploy in May 2001 and had to extend his 
Expiration Term of Service (ETS) in order to have the 
retainability for the period he was tasked to deploy. 

 

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was retired from the Air Force on 
29 Feb 2004 under the provisions of AFI 36-3203, Service 
Retirements. He served on active duty for a period of 26 years, 
3 months and 23 days. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained 
in the letters prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 


HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant did 
not provide any evidence of an error or injustice to warrant the 
requested change to his military records. The applicant's 
extensions were voluntary and not as a result of Stop Loss. 

 

The applicant submitted a claim for Retroactive Stop Loss 
Special Pay (RSLSP) to HQ AFPC/DPSOS on 14 Apr 2010 and was 
disapproved on 21 Apr 2010. On 23 Nov 2010, DPSOS received the 
member's appeal for RSLSP. His claim was re-adjudicated on 
21 Jul 2011 and the applicant was approved for 13 months 
compensation. The applicant received $6,500 from the Defense 
Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) on 5 Aug 2011. 

 

The applicant's military records show he was affected by Stop 
Loss from 1 Dec 2001 to 1 Dec 2002 and was appropriately 
compensated. The applicant's military records also show his 
AFSC, 2S071, was not affected by Stop Loss for the period of 
2 May 2003 to 31 Dec 2003. 

 

The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 10 Feb 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (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, 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. Absent persuasive 
evidence that he was denied rights to which he was entitled or 
treated differently from others similarly situated, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) 


involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 applicant requests, in effect, Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay (RSLSP) for the period 29 April to 22 December 2004. It shows that "stop-lossed" service members who voluntarily reenlisted or extended their service, and received a bonus for such reenlistment or extension of service, are no longer eligible to receive retroactive stop loss special pay. However, the evidence of record shows the applicant was promoted to SGT (E-5) with a DOR of 3 December 2003 and he incurred a 1-year...
