RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04129
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with four points for a satisfactory year of
service for retention/retirement (R/R) year 2010/2011.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not eligible for promotion because he was unable to
attain a satisfactory year of service for R/R year 2010-2011.
He was switching units and was unable to attend unit training
assemblies during June-August 2011. In view of this, he
completed training for points only that was required for his Air
Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 4H0X1 Career Field Education and
Training Plan (CFETP). He submitted the AF Form 40A, Record of
Individual Inactive Duty Training; however, his commander
indicated the form needed to be signed by his former unit
commander. Unfortunately, his former unit commander refused to
sign the form and his request was disapproved by the Air Reserve
Personnel Center (ARPC).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of senior airman (SrA).
According to information extracted from the Military Personnel
Data System (MilPDS), the applicant accrued 31 inactive duty
training (IDT) points and 15 membership points for a total of 46
retirement points during the contested R/R year, which does not
constitute a satisfactory year of service. The applicant has
been credited with three years of satisfactory Reserve service
for retirement.
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 Exhibits C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/A1K recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an
error or injustice. The applicant has not provided any
documentation showing he has met all the requirements to be
eligible for promotion. In accordance with the governing
instruction, AFI 36-2254VI, Reserve Personnel Participation,
service members should complete Inactive Duty Training (IDT) at
the unit they are assigned or attached, unless an adequate
facility or equipment are not available. If the service member
received approval in advance from his commander he can attend
training at an alternate site. The applicant has not provided
any documentation showing he received advance approval for the
training he attended.
Additionally, in order for an enlisted Air Force Reserve member
to be eligible for promotion to staff sergeant they must meet a
variety of eligibility requirements, including the attainment of
four years of satisfactory service for retirement. However, the
applicant has provided no documentation to indicate that he
meets the requirements for promotion. Furthermore, the service
member must also be recommended by the assigned supervisor and
approved by the commander. It is at the supervisors discretion
to recommend the service member for promotion to the commander.
A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K 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 14 December 2012, 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. Although there is no
evidence of an error on the part of the Air Force, we believe it
is in the interest of justice to recommend granting the
requested relief. In this respect, we find it reasonable to
conclude the applicants transfer between units hindered his
opportunity to participate in unit training assemblies during
the period in question. Furthermore, we believe the applicant
made a reasonable effort to perform training in kind in an
effort to ensure he would be credited with a satisfactory year
of Reserve service. Therefore, in view of the above, we
recommend his records be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was
awarded an additional four inactive duty training points for
retention/retirement year 23 June 2010 to 22 June 2011,
resulting in 50 total points, which constitutes a satisfactory
year of Federal service.

It is unclear why no medical documentation was provided or why the case was not completed. In this case, he is not eligible for active duty orders. We note that the Air Force offices of primary responsibility state the applicants medical condition was not found to be in the line of duty; therefore no eligibility for active duty orders or pay exists.

He be reinstated as an active member of the Air Force Reserve, effective 15 October 2010, with award of IDT points consistent with the average IDT points he earned between 1 March 2008 and 31 March 2010. In this respect, we believe the evidence provided makes it clear that a serious personality conflict existed between the applicant and certain members of his chain of command as validated by Inspector General (IG) complaints filed by his supervisory chain and the applicant himself, as well...

A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C.
