RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04229 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His date of separation (DOS) be changed from 14 Mar 15 to 22 Apr 
14. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His current enlistment contract states that he reenlisted for 
4 years and 14 weeks, but his DOS reflects 4 years and 14 months. 

 

His 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 technical sergeant. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. Per the Air Force guidance, years 
and months are the only authorized enlistment/reenlistment terms; 
weeks are not allowed. The applicant’s current DOS is 14 Mar 15, 
which has been in the personnel system and reflected on his leave 
and earning statement for almost 3 years. All notifications and 
RIP will reflect 14 Mar 15 as his DOS. Additionally, the 
applicant’s Zone C Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) window ends 
4 Sep 14, which is before his current DOS. If his request is 
approved his reenlistment window will open while he is still in 
the Zone C SRB window that will allow him to reenlist with a SRB 
if authorized at that time. 

 

 


 

The complete DPSOA 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 6 Nov 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. Based on the 
evidence of record, it appears that the applicant signed his 
reenlistment contract for a period of 4 years and 14 weeks, 
indicating that he agreed to serve for that period of service. 
In our opinion, he contracted his reenlistment in the Air Force 
in good faith and the error in this case appears to have been 
made by the personnel representatives. Furthermore, we note the 
the Air Force office of responsibility recommends denying the 
applicant’s request based on the Air Force reenlistment process 
of contracting in whole year increments rather than in weeks; 
however, we believe the applicant has provided substantial 
evidence in the form of his reenlistment contract that clearly 
reflects he initialed in Section 8 of the DD Form 4/1 for a 
period of 4 years and 14 weeks. As such, we recommend that the 
records be corrected as indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he reenlisted in 
the Regular Air Force on 15 January 2010, for a period of four 
years and 14 weeks, in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5), rather 
than for four years and 14 months.
