RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05142
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The date he was appointed into the Air Force Reserve be changed to 22 Aug 13 to eliminate his break in service.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Through no fault of his own, while he was transferring from the Regular Air Force to the Air Force Reserve, a delay in the scrolling process unjustly resulted in a break in service during the period 22 Aug 13 through 26 Aug 13.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 30 May 01.
On 21 Aug 13, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, and was credited with 12 years, 2 months, and 22 days of total active service.
Effective 26 Aug 13, under Reserve Order PC-00704, dated 27 Sep 13, the applicant was appointed to the Air Force Reserve.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPA recommends the applicants request to eliminate his break in service be granted. Due to a delay in processing of the 5 Jul 13 scroll at the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) level, the applicant incurred a break in service between his date of separation (DOS) and appointment into the Air Force Reserve. The break in service was not the fault of the applicant. While current policies do not allow ARPC to backdate appointment dates as the applicant requested, SAF/GCM determined the AFBCMR has the authority to adjust the DOS for officers who experience a break in service due to a delay in scrolling. Recommend adjusting the applicants DOS to the date prior to the date he was appointed into the Reserve.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13 Jan 14 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case and 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 relief should be granted. Therefore, we recommend the applicants records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 21 August 2013, the applicant was not released from active duty, but on that date, continued to serve on active duty until 25 August 2013, when he was released from active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserve, effective 26 August 2013.
