RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01702
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of entry (DOE) in the Air Force Reserve (AFR) be
corrected to reflect 2 October 2011 instead of 11 May 2012 to
eliminate a break in service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The break in service was due to numerous administrative errors
and oversights completely outside of his control. To the best
of his knowledge the initial scrolling was not properly
accomplished and the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) appointment
orders were cut in error prior to Secretary of Defense (SecDef)
approval. Administrative errors during the manual scroll
process and oversight in scroll approval during AFR processing
increased the break in service.
In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his
ARPC IMT 92, Appointment Order, his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, and documents extracted
from his military personnel record.
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 Major, 0-4.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends approval. DPTS states that due to a delay
in processing the 19 March 2012, scroll at the SecDef level the
applicant incurred a break in service between his date of
separation and his appointment date into the Air Force Reserve.
DPTS further states, current policies do not allow for
backdating oaths; however, SAF/GCM and the AFBCMR determined
that the AFBCMR has the authority to adjust the DOS for these
officers to prevent a break in service. OSD General Counsel
determined the appointment date is the date the SecDef approves
the appointment or the date the oath was administered, whichever
is later. The applicant was granted appointment in accordance
with the Office of Secretary of Defense directive. They found
no administrative error and conclude the break in service was at
no fault of the applicant. Therefore, they recommend approval
of the applicants request to reflect no break in service.
The complete ARPC/DPTS 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 19 May 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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. After a
thorough review of the evidence, we believe correction is
warranted. 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 that the applicants
service dates should be corrected since the administrative error
was at no fault of the applicant. Accordingly, we recommend the
applicants record 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 was not
released from active duty effective 1 October 2011, but was
continued on active duty through 10 May 2012.
