RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03634 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His records be corrected to reflect that he did not sell 
leave at the end of his military career. 

 

2. His records be corrected to remove any reference to being 
Absent Without Leave (AWOL). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He intended to take his terminal leave in Jan 2011; however, due 
to an ongoing investigation, he was required to remain on active 
duty until 21 Mar 2011. Consequently, his terminal leave was 
cancelled. He did not take nor sell any leave prior to his 
retirement. Furthermore, he was never AWOL. He was 
hospitalized in Jan 2011 and physicians failed to notify his 
unit. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

In a 22 Oct 2012 letter to the applicant, AFPC/DPTOS states that 
the applicant was never on AWOL status and the system was never 
updated with lost time or any type of AWOL/confinement duty 
status. He did have a Case Management System case (3155079) 
started, placing him in AWOL status, however on 27 Jan 2011, 
before the case was processed, his unit stated that the case 
should be withdrawn because he was not AWOL but rather 
physicians failed to notify his command that he was 
hospitalized. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these 
facts in this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s request that his 
records be corrected to reflect he did not sell leave at the end 
of his military career. DPSIM states that the applicant 
provided a letter from DFAS, dated 2 Aug 2012, stating that a 
re-audit of his account revealed that he was entitled to sell 
29.5 days of leave due to late posting of his terminal leave and 
due to being AWOL for one day on 25 Jan 2011. In addition, DFAS 
stated that he was originally paid 60 days of lump sum leave; 
however, it was adjusted to 29.5 days paid. AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, Title 37, U.S.C., Section 501, is the 
authority for payment for accrued leave upon reenlistment, 
retirement, separation under honorable conditions, or death. It 
limits payment of accrued leave to 60 days in a military career 
effective 10 Feb 1976. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 21 Jan 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
E). 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 error or injustice. After 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and the applicant’s 
complete submission, we are not persuaded relief is warranted. 
While the applicant states that he did not take or sell leave 
prior to his retirement, the DFAS-IN Form 0-641, Statement of 
Military Pay Account, provided by the applicant, reflects that 
he was paid for 29.5 days of leave. Therefore, without 
documentary evidence to the contrary, 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 the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of 
having suffered either an error or an injustice. In regard to 
his request that his record be corrected to remove any reference 
to being AWOL, as pointed-out in DPTOS’s letter dated 22 Oct 


2012, the system was never updated with lost time or 
AWOL/confinement duty status, therefore this request is moot. 
In view of the above 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.

    Since the applicant sold the maximum 60 days of leave previously, he is ineligible to sell his 42 days of lost leave in conjunction with his 1 Dec 2012 retirement. Although he was paid for 60 days of accrued leave in conjunction with his 1 Jul 1995 retirement, the evidence reflects that he was recalled to active duty in Jul 2009 under the Rated Officer Recall Program and retired again on 1 Dec 2012. Therefore, in the interest of justice we recommend the applicant’s Extended Active Duty...
