IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01775
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The 18 days of leave she lost in the beginning of fiscal year
(FY) 2011 be restored.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Finance did not process her leave from Jul 2010, until Oct 2011.
Because of this she lost 18 days of leave.
In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her
DFAS Forms 702, Defense Finance and Accounting Service Military
Leave and Earnings Statement, and a screen shot of from the Air
Force Financial Leave Request and Approval System.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of master sergeant (MSgt, E-7).
According to the information provided by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility the applicant carried forward 63.5 days
of leave at the beginning of FY 2010. She earned 30 days of
leave, and used 34 days of leave during FY 2010. She carried
forward 63.5 days of leave at the beginning of FY 2011, earned
30 days of leave, and used 37 days of leave during FY 2011. The
applicant's leave balance at the beginning of FY 2011 was
56.5 days.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that in
accordance with AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, Special
Leave Accrual (SLA), members who are faced with circumstances
that prohibit them from taking leave to accumulate leave in
excess of 60 days (75 days until 30 Sept 2013). 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 60 days that
is a result of members' failure to properly manage their leave
balance.
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 1 Oct 2012, 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.

Applicant requests 60 days of leave be restored to his leave account and he be entitled to sell his leave upon his 1 May 2005 retirement.
