RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00458
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her record be corrected to reflect 52 retirement points for the
year 6 Sep 11 - 5 Sep 12 and satisfactory service for the
Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 17 Aug 12.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her original Retention/Retirement (R/R) date of 6 Sep 05 was
presumed correct. On 13 Oct 11, an Air Force audit changed it
to reflect 18 Aug 05.
This will deprive her of the points she earned towards a good
year in 2011-2012, and ultimately a year of service toward
retirement, through no fault of her own.
On 6 Sep 11, she left active duty and transferred to the Air
Force Reserve, it was her knowledge that she officially joined
the Air Force as of 6 Sep 05. Her Base Individual Mobilization
Augmentee Administrator (BIMAA) sent her a welcome letter
reflecting 6 Sep 11 as her official R/R date. On 20 Sep 11, she
verified this in Virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) to be
accurate.
On 13 Oct 11, an audit was performed and her R/R date was
changed to reflect a delayed entry date of 18 Aug 05, changing
her R/R dates.
She performed an annual tour from 12 Aug to 24 Aug 12 and
completed Inactive Duty Training (IDT) days through 28 Sep 12.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of an
Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve (ANG/USAFR) Point Credit
Summary, dated 23 Jan 13, her enlistment documents, and a
Newcomer Welcome Letter.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program
(DEP) on 18 Aug 05, and entered active duty in the Regular Air
Force on 6 Sep 05.
Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force which is at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. DPTS states that the initial
audit, prior service record capture, and resulting R/R date
change did not affect the outcome of whether or not the
applicant received a satisfactory year of service, nor was the
member deprived of any retirement points.
Supposing the R/R date was 6 Sep 05; the total number of
retirement points earned would only equal 40 points, which is
still short of a satisfactory service year. The applicant did
not receive a satisfactory year because she failed to
participate. The applicants assertions are not correct because
she based her argument on a fiscal year versus a R/R year. The
applicants record is not in error nor has any injustice
occurred.
ARPC has the responsibility to expand prior service history into
the Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System (PCARS). After
one month in the Ready Reserve, the applicants service history
was captured into PCARS and her R/R date was officially
established, in accordance with AFI 36-2254, Volume, Reserve
Personnel Participation, Table 2.4., as 18 Aug 05, which was the
initial date she entered uniform service.
The complete DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 8 Mar 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
As of this date, this office has received no 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 a
thorough review of the available evidence, we are not persuaded
that the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.
We note the applicants assertion that her Retention/Retirement
(R/R) date was changed without her knowledge thereby depriving
her of a satisfactory year of service for retirement year ending
2012. However, according to ARPC/DPTS, the initial audit, prior
service record capture, and resulting R/R date change did not
affect the outcome of whether or not she received a satisfactory
year of service, nor was she deprived of any points. As such,
we do not believe the applicant has overcome the rationale
expressed in the Air Force advisory opinion nor has she met her
burden of establishing the existence of an error or an
injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we concur with the comments provided by ARPC/DPTS and
adopt their 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.
________________________________________________________________
_
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.

DPP contends even if she had known of the R/R date change earlier and had the opportunity to schedule her AT dates prior to the new retirement year ending (RYE) date of 21 February 2005 the additional AD points would have resulted in her RYE 21 February 2005 to show only a total of 45 points and a year of unsatisfactory service. ______________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating...

Because she was working under the assumption that her R/R date had changed to the date she started working as an ALO (11 August), her R/R year for 27 May 2006 to 26 May 2007 ended up being six (6) points shy of the 50 points required for a satisfactory year of service. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant states she never received a copy of the Special Orders dated 12 Sep 06 in the mail or at her unit. ...

The applicant was notified on 17 April 1999 about the change in his R/R date and that his points were being realigned to coincide with the 14 June R/R date.
