                       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 applicant’s 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.
