RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:		 DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02401
                                 COUNSEL:  NONE
	    			 HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Date of Separation (DOS) be changed to 27 Jan 2015.   

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
 
According to his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
Armed Forces of the United States, that he signed on 1 Oct   
2010, he reenlisted for 4 years and 17 weeks.  His DOS should be 
27 Jan 2015 and not 29 Feb 2016. 

He understands the Military Personnel Section (MPS) should have 
lined through “weeks” and typed in “months” In Accordance With 
(IAW) Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2606, Reenlistment in the 
United States Air Force.  Although the regulations were not 
followed, the contract is a valid legal agreement and his 
records should reflect the terms that were signed.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 4.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of Staff Sergeant (SSgt).  His Total Active Federal Military 
Service Date (TAFMSD) is 6 Sep 2005.  

The applicant’s DD Form 4 shows he reenlisted on 1 Oct 2010 for 
4 years and 17 weeks. 

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request to have 
his reenlistment updated as 4 years and 14 [sic] weeks.  Since 
all reenlistments are done in whole year increments plus 
obligated service, the applicant knows he would not have 
reenlisted for 4 years and 14 [sic] weeks since he still had one 
year and two months [sic] remaining on his previous enlistment.  
IAW Air Force guidance, years and months are the only authorized 
terms of enlistment/reenlistment.  The DOS of 29 Feb 2016 has 
been in the personnel system and reflected on his monthly Leave 
and Earnings (LES) statement for almost three years now.  The 
applicant’s Zone B (10 to 14 years of service) Selective 
Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) window ends 5 Sep 2015 which is before 
his current DOS of 29 Feb 2016.  If his request is approved, he 
will be allowed to reenlist and receive a Zone B SRB which has a 
multiple of 5.0 on the current SRB listing.

The complete DPSOA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B. 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 23 Aug 2013 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 an 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 (OPR) and adopt 
the rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant has not been the victim of an 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.
