RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01198
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be awarded 33 non-paid retirement points for Retirement Year
Ending (RYE) 11 Mar 14, to achieve a satisfactory year toward
retirement.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to her treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer, she was not
allowed to participate and complete a satisfactory year for pay
and points.
The Air Force failed to notify her that a heart condition was
documented in her medical record. If the medical personnel had
made her aware of her tachycardia condition she could have
informed her cancer treatment team. This would have resulted in
her doctors implementing a difference course of treatment that
would not have exacerbated the tachycardia condition.
She has consistently completed all of her reserve requirements
and currently has 14 years of satisfactory service. She needs
33 points to complete her Fiscal Year 2013 requirements.
AFRC/SG denied her participation waiver. Therefore she was
unable to complete her reserve requirement and attain another
good year of service. Attaining 15 satisfactory years of
service would give her the eligibility to be considered for an
early reserve retirement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 Mar 99, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve
(AFR) and is currently serving in the grade of Master Sergeant
(MSgt, E-7).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends approval indicating the applicants medical
circumstances and units decision to discontinue the applicants
participation prevented her from earning sufficient
participation points to complete a qualifying year of service
for RYE 11 Mar 14. The applicant has undergone treatment for
cancer since 2011, followed by a diagnosed heart condition. In
Sep 13, her unit requested that she complete her annual tour but
she was unable to request her orders, due to the government
shutdown. Once she was able to submit her request for the
annual tour, it was denied until a medical review was
accomplished by the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). On 4 Nov
13, she was subsequently denied continued participation. Until
the contested year, the applicant had a spotless participation
history, achieving 14 satisfactory service years through RYE
11 Mar 13.
The complete DPTS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 May 14 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient 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 and 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 been
the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, we recommend
the applicants record be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that for
Retention/Retirement Year 12 Mar 13 through 11 Mar 14, she was
credited with an additional thirty-three (33) non-paid Inactive
Duty Training (IDT) and fifteen (15) membership points resulting
in 50 total points; and, this period was a year of satisfactory
Federal service.
