RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04703 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His records be corrected to reflect he received a Selective 
Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for his 3 Oct 11 reenlistment. 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

If he had been informed that a new SRB listing was to be released 
on 14 Oct 11, he would not have reenlisted on 3 Oct 11. 

 

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular 
Air Force on 2 Dec 03. On 4 Mar 09, he extended his enlistment 
for 23 months to obtain retainability for retraining, resulting 
in a new date of separation (DOS) of 1 Nov 11. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the 
Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial noting the applicant’s contract did 
not include an SRB because his career field was not on the SRB 
listing. The SRB was not denied, but rather not an issue based 
on no authorization for his career field. The Air Staff 
announced on 11 Oct 11 the SRB listing was changing, effective on 
14 Oct 11; therefore, there was no way the applicant could have 
been briefed prior to that date. Furthermore, there are many 
service members who are similarly situated due to their averaging 
over 65 reenlistments/extensions daily across 172 career fields, 
of which 78 are currently authorized an SRB. 

 


The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 24 Jan 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an 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 the 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant is not 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
