 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02662
			COUNSEL:  NONE
      			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be eligible to sell 30 days of leave.  

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He signed a contract to sell 30 days of leave in conjunction 
with his extension of enlistment to qualify for Post 9/11 GI 
Bill Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB).  He was told he would 
receive payment upon entering the extension on 7 Mar 2013 but 
has not received any payment.

He contacted the Vandenberg AFB (VAFB) CA, Military Personnel 
Section (MPS) and was told that they would open a case for his 
new base, Andersen AFB, Guam, to work.

He has no records to substantiate his request and was advised by 
the MPS at VAFB, that they shred all documents upon scanning 
them into their system.  

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of Technical Sergeant (TSgt).

On 5 Nov 2010, the applicant signed an AF Form 1411, Extension 
or Cancellation of Extension of Enlistment in the Regular Air 
Force (REGAF)/Air Force Reserve (AF Reserve)/Air National Guard 
(ANG), extending his enlistment for 20 months to qualify for 
TEB.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The applicant does not have any 
evidence to support his claim of selling 30 days of leave in 
conjunction with his 5 Nov 2010 extension.  The applicant’s 
extension contract was executed correctly and there is no 
evidence of an AF Form 1089, Leave Settlement Option.  Since 
this was the applicant’s first extension on his enlistment, he 
was eligible to sell back leave.  However, there is no AF Form 
1089 which is required to sell leave.  The MPS opened a Case 
Management System (CMS) inquiry to ask what the applicant’s 
options were; and the case was closed stating that the only 
option was for the applicant to apply to the Board for a 
correction to his records if he believed his record to be in 
error since there was no evidence to support his claim.

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 5 Aug 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, this office has not received a response (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

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 that 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.

    He obtained the necessary retainability, his intentions were documented on his AF Form 901 and the fact the MilConnect and VMPF does not reflect that he qualified for the TEB, on 13 Sep 11, reflects a clear disservice to him. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, the Board majority recommends approval. We note AFPC/DPSIT states there is no evidence the applicant applied for the TEB in MILCONNECT or signed the SOU.
