STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served on active duty from 8 December 1970 to 14 November 1979.
He reenlisted on 8 November 1974 for four years.
The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicants
master personnel records, are contained in the evaluation by the
Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibits C.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant signed
under item 54 on his reenlistment contract (DD Form 4)
indicating I have had this contract fully explained to me, I
understand it, and certify that no promise of any kind has been
made to me concerning assignment to duty, geographical area,
schooling, special programs, assignment of government quarters,
or transportation of dependents except as indicated in item 48.
Item 48 states No Reenlistment Guarantees.
DPSOA indicates that while the applicant contends he was
promised a verbal reenlistment bonus that was applied as
advanced pay; the Air Force has never had a program that
authorizes a verbal reenlistment bonus. Additionally, his
reenlistment contract specifically states: No Reenlistment
Guarantees.
The complete 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 10 January 2014, 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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. We note the
applicants asserts that he was promised a verbal reenlistment
bonus; however, he has not provided any evidence to support this
contention. 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.
