AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM, states in part, that 
according to AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, a member's 
application must clearly establish that an error or injustice by 
the Air Force caused the member's lost leave. Additionally, 
10.8.1 states that Special Leave Accrual (SLA) is not authorized 
when a TDY precludes a member from using leave. Furthermore, 
10.1, states in part, that the situation preventing members from 
using leave must have been caused by a catastrophe, national 
emergency and/or crisis or operations in defense of national 
security. SLA shall not be used as a means to authorize the 
accumulation of leave in excess of 75 days that is a result of 
the members' failure to properly manage their leave balance. 


Additional documents were requested from the member on 29 Nov 
11. 

 

The complete DPSIM 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 25 Jan 12, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has not received a 
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 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.
