RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05860
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His record be corrected to reflect a year of satisfactory 
service for retirement year ending (RYE) 28 May 2012.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to circumstances beyond his control he lost his billet with 
USSTRATCOM/J7.  However, he was still able to obtain 13 points 
through Military Personnel Appropriation (MPA) orders which 
should warrant an exception for RYE 28 May 2012.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in 
the grade of major.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military personnel records, are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force at Exhibit B.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends approval.  DPTS states it appears that 
USSTRATCOM's decision to discontinue the applicant’s position 
prevented him from earning sufficient participation points to 
complete a qualifying year of service for RYE 28 May 2012.






The circumstances that prevented the applicant from obtaining 
points were that his overage contract was discontinued, 
FY12 annual training was denied due to lack of funding and late 
acquisition of funds did not allow him to participate in IDTs 
for the greater part of FY12 and RYE 28 May 2012.

The applicant submitted three letters of justification in 
support of his appeal, which states that he made a genuine 
effort to participate for points; the Command Historian, also 
recognized the applicant’s effort to complete participation; and 
the Director of Joint Exercises and Training, verified the 
applicant’s overage status was due to internal re-organization 
and was no fault of the applicant.

If the Board agrees with our recommendation, the records should 
be corrected to show the member was awarded 22 additional non-
paid IDTs for RYE 28 May 2012.  This will give the member a 
total of 50 total retirement points and a satisfactory service 
year.  

The complete AFPC/DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 15 September 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 
30 days (Exhibit C).  As of this date, no response has been 
received by this office. 


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 error or injustice warranting 
corrective action.  In this respect, the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) has indicated the decision to 
discontinue the applicant’s position prevented him from earning 
sufficient participation points to complete a qualifying year of 
service for RYE 28 May 2012.  Therefore, in order to preclude 
the possibility of an injustice to the applicant, the Board 
recommends the records be corrected as indicated below.





THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was 
credited with an additional 22 non-paid inactive duty training 
points during the retirement/retention year ending 28 May 2012, 
resulting in 50 total points; and that the period ending 28 May 
2012 is a year of satisfactory Federal service.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2013-05860 in Executive Session on 6 November 2014, 
under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:


All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.  The 
following documentary evidence was considered:

    Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 12 December 2013, w/atchs.
    Exhibit B.  Letter, ARPC/DPTS, dated 7 February 2014,
                w/atchs.
    Exhibit C.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 15 September 2014.
