RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03163
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of separation (DOS) be changed from 1 July 2018 to
1 July 2016.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was mistakenly guided during his first reenlistment. He was
directed to reenlist by the military personnel flight (MPF).
The MPF informed him that he was within 180 days of the
expiration term of his service (ETS) and must attend a mandatory
reenlistment briefing. He contacted the office to confirm the
briefing was required even though he had already extended for
23 months. He was again told that he had to attend the
briefing. He trusted the expertise of the office and attended
the briefing.
When he received the DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment
Document Armed Forces of the United States, he was not given the
correct explanation regarding the 23 months he initialed. He
was told the 23 months was the military service obligation that
he would be subject to recall after separation. He learned of
his DOS when transferring his Post-9/11 GI Bill to his wife. He
was informed that he did not need to extend due to his 2018 DOS.
It was also at that time, he was told the 23 months he initialed
obligated him to 23 months of active duty service.
He did not have any intention of reenlisting for more than four
years from 2 August 2012. He was not reenlisting for an
enlistment bonus or for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides DD Form 4/1,
email correspondence and AF IMT 1411, Extension or Cancellation
of Extension of Enlistment in the Regular Air Force/Air Force
Reserve.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently active duty serving in the grade of
staff sergeant.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this case are
contained in the letter prepared by Air Force office of primary
responsibility which is listed at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant enlisted in the
Regular Air Force on 8 August 2006 for a period of six years
establishing his ETS and DOS as 7 August 2012. He extended on
7 July 2010 for 23 months to qualify for an assignment which
established his DOS as 7 July 2014, while his ETS remained
7 August 2012.
He was notified by e-mail on 8 June 2012 that he was scheduled
for a mandatory briefing to discuss his options and ask
questions. He was eligible to reenlist any time before his
7 August 2012 ETS, once he entered his extension, his new
reenlistment window would have been the 90 day period before his
7 July 2014 DOS. His only options were to reenlist for 4 years
and 23 months or not reenlist and enter his 23 month extension
on 8 August 2012. He chose to reenlist.
The applicant states he was told he had to reenlist. This does
not make sense as it is clear he had a 23 month extension he
could have entered. He knew his DOS was 7 July 2014, so it is
unclear why he would reenlist knowing his DOS was 2 years away.
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 30 August 2013, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. The
applicant's complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and his
contentions were duly noted. However, we do not find the
applicants assertions and the documentation presented in
support of his appeal sufficiently persuasive to override the
rationale provided by Air Force office of primary
responsibility. Therefore, we agree with their opinion and
recommendation and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion and find that the applicant has not been the victim
of an error or injustice. 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 requested to cancel his 19-month extension within the 30-day period after his Consecutive Overseas Assignment from Korea to Germany was cancelled.
