RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00885
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His record be change to reflect that he served six years so that 
he is eligible for separation pay.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Total Active Federal Service (TAFMS) should be over six 
years to be eligible for separation pay.  

He was also told that he did not need six years for separation 
pay as long as his discharge was honorable.  His discharge was 
honorable with a Separation Program Designator (SPD) code of JGB 
(Failure of selection for permanent promotion). 

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 19 Dec 08, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

In a letter dated 1 Jul 13, his commander notified him he was 
not selecting for promotion to the grade of captain by the CY13C 
Captain (LAF) Central Selection Board.  This was the second time 
he was not selected for promotion and In Accordance With (IAW) 
the law he had to separate not later than 30 Apr 14.  

On 30 Apr 14, the applicant received an honorable discharge, and 
was credited with 5 years, 4 months, and 12 days of active 
service.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  IAW DoDI 1332.29, Eligibility of 
Regular and Reserve Personnel for Separation Pay, the service 
member is eligible if “The member is on AD or full-time National 
Guard duty and has completed at least 6 years, but fewer than 20 
years of active service.”  Since the applicant has less than six 
years of TAFMS, he is ineligible to receive separation pay.
The complete DPSOR 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 19 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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 an 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 the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.

Number BC-2014-00885 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 26 Feb 14, w/atchs.
