RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04666
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 3 year and 25 month reenlistment be changed to a 5 year
reenlistment and his entitlement to a Zone B, Multiple 7.0,
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for three years, be changed
to 5 years.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His records are incorrect because the incentive for staying in
the Air Force was the bonus. He was led to believe that he
would receive the bonus for a five year enlistment. He was told
that the extension would be cancelled if he reenlisted within 30
days upon graduating from Technical School. However, the
extension was never cancelled; therefore, he only received the
SRB for three years.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of
reenlistment documents.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 2 May 2006 for six
years establishing his Date of Separation (DOS) as 1 May 2012.
He extended his DOS for 14 months for approved retraining into
the 6C0X1-Contracting career field on 30 September 2011. He
received a permanent change of station (PCS) in the Contracting
career field and extended 16 months on 14 March 2012 to obtain
retainability for the PCS. His Class Graduation Date (CGD) from
training was 5 September 2012 and he arrived at his new duty
station on 26 October 2012. He reenlisted on 27 September 2012
for 3 years and 25 months with entitlement to a Zone B SRB for
three years; the 25 months was obligated service from his two
extensions which could not be cancelled.
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 Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant
contends he could cancel his extension within 30 days of CGD for
the purpose of immediate reenlistment; however, Air Force
Instruction 36-2606, paragraph 5.3 indicates retrainees may
request cancellation of an extension obtained for retraining
that has not been entered contingent upon immediate
reenlistment. Therefore, his 16-month extension for PCS
executed on 14 March 2012 could not be cancelled because it was
not for retraining. Additionally, paragraph 5.3 clearly states
retrainees may request cancellation of an extension obtained
for retraining that has not been entered. The applicant was not
eligible to cancel his retraining extension for immediate
reenlistment, because he had already entered the extension when
he graduated technical training on 5 September 2012. Per
paragraph 5.3.1.5, extensions obtained for retraining that have
been entered will not be forgiven and will be considered as
obligated service.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 March 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 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.
