                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02867
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be awarded points for the period Jul 92 through Apr 95 and 
that each year be credited as a year of satisfactory service 
towards retirement.

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was not credited with good years for the entire time he 
served as an Air Reserve Technician (ART).  

In 2012, he realized that he was not credited with any 
retirement points during this period and has been trying to 
resolve this issue ever since.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Based on the Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System 
(PCARS), after a civilian break of almost seven years, on 24 Sep 
92, the applicant returned to the Air Force Reserve.  He was 
credited with a satisfactory year of service for his Retirement 
Year Ending 23 Sep 93.  

According to Reserve Order (RO) A-079, on 23 Nov 93, he was 
assigned to the Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Personnel 
Section (NNRPS).  The assignment action reason on the order 
indicated the applicant had a job/school conflict.  

On 2 Sep 96, he was released from the NNRPS and assigned to the 
security police squadron at Westover AFB MA.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial stating, in part, that the 
applicant's account of service dates and times do not coincide 
with the documentation in his military service history on file.  
He does not have any Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) because 
none exist.  He was not in a point gaining activity nor was he 
able to earn retirement points during the three years he was 
assigned to the NNRPS.  Therefore, he could not earn 
satisfactory Federal service years.  Moreover, his request for 
satisfactory service years while assigned to NNRPS is not in 
compliance with the applicable law.  The applicant received a 
satisfactory retirement year ending 23 Sep 93.

The complete DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 5 Aug 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(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.

    The Reserve Order, dated 6 May 98, assigning the applicant to the numbered MSS showed an R/R date of 18 Sep. After an audit of his Master Personnel Record, his R/R date was changed to 22 Sep. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that he should be awarded five non-pay points for R/R year 22 Sep 97 to 21 Sep 98 in order to have this year credited as a good year toward retirement. We therefore agree with the recommendation of the...
