RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03941
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be made eligible for the Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11) Aviator
Continuation Pay (ACP) Program.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was eligible to receive ACP effective 27 October 2010. Due
to the delays in a resolution of the FY11 federal budget, the
FY11 ACP policy was released on 23 February 2011. As stated in
the ACP guidelines, his eligibility date rendered him ineligible
to complete an entire period of agreement under the policy as
released.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of the
Air National Guard (ANG) FY2011 ACP Program Announcement and
Implementation, his ACP Statement of Understanding, his
Aeronautical Order Aviation Service Record, AF Form 475, Education Training Report, and his active duty Special Orders.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard in
the grade of major (O-4).
On 27 October 2010, the applicant signed a FY11 Navigator and
Combat Operator ACP Statement of Understanding indicating he
understood the effective date of the agreement was 27 October
2010. On 6 September 2011, the agreement was approved by the
approval authority.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PF recommends denial. According to the FY11 ANG ACP
Policy, in order for a member to be eligible to apply,
Navigators and Combat System Operators (CSO) must have served at
least 10 years since the completion of Undergraduate Navigator
Training (UNT) or CSO training. The applicant graduated on
21 March 2002, making his initial date of eligibility 21 March
2012. The applicant is ineligible and should not be permitted
to request, execute or be paid for a FY 2011 ACP agreement.
The complete A1PF 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 22 March 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). 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 was
ineligible for the Aviator Continuation Pay Program during
Fiscal Year 2011. 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.

Excluding him, when the written ACP program never excluded officers occupying API 0 positions and when the AFBCMR and the Director of the ANG approved it retroactively for other API 0 billeted pilots' pre-FYll service, would be a discriminatory application causing error and injustice. Further, NGB does not dispute that the ACP policy as written never excluded API 0 pilots as the Director ANG concluded by approving ACP for some of them in 2010. ...
