AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-03513
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 1411, Extension Or Cancellation Of Extensions Of 
Enlistment In The Regular Air Force (REGAF)/Air Force Reserve 
(AF Reserve)/Air National Guard (ANG), dated 9 Nov 11, be 
corrected to reflect he extended his enlistment 36 months 
instead of 30 months, in order for him to receive a Zone A 
multiple 4.0 Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for that 
extension.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Based on his time in service and service commitment, he should 
have been eligible and had the option to reenlist.  The AF Form 
1411 reflects a Zone A multiple 4.0 bonus was never paid or 
received.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 1411 and a two-page excerpt from Air Force Instruction 
(AFI) 36-2606, Reenlistment In The United States Air Force. 

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of staff sergeant (E-5).  His Total Active Federal Military 
Service Date (TAFMSD) is 7 Aug 07.

On 7 Aug 07, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force for six 
years, establishing a Date of Separation (DOS) of 6 Aug 13.

On 9 Nov 11, the applicant extended his enlistment for 
30 months, for the purpose of Permanent Change of Station (PCS), 
establishing a new DOS of 6 Feb 16.

In accordance with AFI 36-2606, paragraph 5.1.2.2, six year 
enlistees, serving in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA, E-4) or 
higher must have at least 60 consecutive months on their current 
enlistment, have an approved Career Job Reservation (CJR) and 
meet all other requirements in order to reenlist.

At the time the applicant extended his enlistment, he had only 
served 51 consecutive months of his six-year enlistment and was 
not eligible to reenlist.

In accordance with AFI 36-2606, paragraph 3.1.1.2, six-year 
enlistees enter their CJR window on the first duty day of the 
month they complete 59 months, but not later than the last duty 
day of the month they complete 67 months.  The applicant did not 
enter his CJR window until Jul 12.

In the fifth counseling statement of Section IV on the AF Form 
1411, the applicant indicated that he understood that he could 
receive a zone A multiple 4.0 SRB, if he extended for a period 
between 36 and 48 months even though less retainability was 
required.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there was no evidence of 
an error or injustice.  The applicant was properly briefed on 
his options in reference to receiving a SRB and clearly did not 
meet all the reenlistment requirements, such as Time In Service 
(TIS) and having an approved CJR.  The applicant was made aware 
that in order to receive a SRB, he would have had to extend 
between 36 and 48 months even though less retainability was 
needed for his PCS.  Additionally, the applicant initialed the 
second counseling statement in section IV of the AF Form 1411, 
indicating he understood that as a six-year enlistee, if he did 
not reenlist before entering the extension, he would lose all 
claim to the Zone A SRB, if authorized.

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 29 Oct 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 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
