RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02646
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, block 28, Narrative Reason for Separation be changed from
“Voluntary Retirement: Sufficient for Retirement” to “High Year
of Tenure (HYT).”
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His HYT for the grade of senior master sergeant (E-8) is
28 years. During his retirement briefing he was informed his
retirement could only be effective on 1 Jul 09, or 1 Aug 09, due
to his HYT date of 16 Jul 09. He chose 1 Jul 09, based on HYT
restrictions and not a voluntary retirement.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Jul 09, the applicant retired in the grade of senior master
sergeant. He served 27 years, 11 months and 15 days of total
active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-
3203, Service Retirements, if the applicant did not apply for
retirement, his only option would have been to separate on
16 Jul 09. The applicant did not submit any evidence or provide
any facts warranting a change of his separation program
designator (SPD) code or narrative reason for separation. In
addition, the applicant did not indicate that his preference was
to separate versus retire.
The complete DPSOR 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 6 Aug 12, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
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 an 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. In
view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.
