RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00680
XXXXXXX XXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with enough retirement points to qualify for
Reserve retired pay at age 60.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He needed 24 days of service to qualify for a Reserve retirement
at age 60. He served the Air Force for 19 years and 6 months
and feels that he deserves a retirement.
After returning from Germany, the squadron standard evaluation
engineer disqualified him as a flight engineer. He was then
told that even if he started all over and worked his way back to
first engineer, he would be disqualified at the first
opportunity. He recently found out, that while he was serving
in a master sergeant position, a female member of his unit was
in a relationship with the Chief Engineer and believes he was
disqualified to open up the position so that she could be
promoted.
He lost his security clearance and was told it was because his
paperwork had been incinerated and personnel officials failed to
ensure that his name had been properly loaded in the system
before destroying his record.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement; extracts from his military personnel records, his
AF Form 526, ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, dated 17 Sep 83,
and various other documents.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant, a former member of the Air Reserve Component
(ARC), was progressively promoted to the grade of technical
sergeant, effective 8 Aug 75.
On 10 Jan 83, he was transferred to a non-obligated non-
participating Reserve status.
On 18 Aug 87, the applicant was honorably discharged from the
Air Force Reserve. He was credited with 26 years, 1 month and
5 days of honorable service, with completion of 19 years of
satisfactory Federal service towards retirement.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTT recommends denial, stating, in part, that the
applicant did not complete 20 years of satisfactory service as
required by law and is not eligible for Reserve retired pay or
any benefits associated with Reserve retired pay.
DPTTR did not comment on the applicant's statements about the
difficulties encountered trying to complete 20 years of
satisfactory service due to being disqualified as a flight
engineer and the subsequent loss of his security clearance.
They only verified the eligibility requirements for a Reserve
retirement and that the applicant did not complete those
requirements.
The complete DPTT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 20 Apr 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's request that he be credited with enough
points to qualify for a Reserve retirement with pay at age 60.
However, based on the evidence of record it appears the
applicant was properly credited for all of the service which he
performed during his career. Therefore, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the ARPC/DPTT 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.
________________________________________________________________
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.
