RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05726
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Eight (8) days of leave lost during fiscal year (FY) 2012 be
restored to his current leave balance.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had leave scheduled but was tasked for a short notice
deployment. He departed on 12 August 2012, and did not return
until 30 September 2012. To prevent the loss of leave he had
appropriately forecasted his leave, however, due to the needs of
the Air Force he was denied the opportunity to take the
necessary leave.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
memorandum from his commander, unit projected leave schedule,
travel order and travel voucher.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of Master Sergeant, (MSgt), E-7.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
1. AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant
failed to schedule use/lose leave in a timely manner.
According to the Master Military Pay Account (MMPA), the
applicant had 66 days of accrued leave at the beginning of FYI2.
During FY12, he earned 30 days of accrued leave and used 13 days
of accrued leave which resulted in a balance of 83 days of
accrued leave at the end of FYI2. The applicant took ordinary
leave on the following dates: 14-18 December 2011, 30 April 2012
thru 1 May 2012, and 15-20 March 2012. On or about 1 October
2012, the applicant lost 8 days of accrued leave at the end of
FY12. The Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) reflects the
applicant attended operational training from 12 August 2012 to
30 September 2012.
2. According to AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program and Air
Force Guidance Memorandum (AFGM) 3, paragraph 10.8., special
leave accrual (SLA) was not authorized in this instance. The
guidance states members are ineligible for SLA when the
following precludes using leave: Normal PCS moves and TDYs.
AFI 36-3003, also states in paragraph 4.1.5., unit commanders:
advise members who schedule use or lose leave in August or
September that they risk losing leave on 1 Oct if military
requirements or personal circumstances prevent them from taking
leave at that particular time. In May 2012, the applicant
projected use or lose leave in August and September; however,
AF policy advises commanders to discourage use or lose leave
in August or September to prevent losing leave at the end of the
FY.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM 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 April 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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.
