RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-01854

		COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be compensated for 10.5 days of leave he lost during Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2011.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He lost leave because of his extended illness and convalescence 
leave due to his cancer treatment.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
SF Forms 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care and leave 
transaction documents.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release 
or Discharge from Active Duty, he retired in the grade of 
technical sergeant (E-6), by reason of “Disability, Permanent, 
Enhanced.”


THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  The applicant's Master Military 
Pay Account reflects that he entered FY 2011 with 74.5 days of 
leave, earned 30 days of leave, and used 19 days causing his 
ending leave balance to be 85.5 days of leave during FY 2011.  
The applicant's leave balance at the beginning of FY 2012 was 
75 days causing him to lose 10.5 days of leave.  In accordance 
with AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program (AFGM4), members are 
ineligible for special leave accrual when hospitalizations, 
aeromedical evaluations, quarters, and convalescent leave 
prevents the member from using leave.  According to the 
information provided, there was no error or injustice caused by 
the Air Force which would have prevented the applicant from 
using the 10.5 days of lost leave.

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 11 August 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of 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 the 
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  
Therefore, 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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR BC-2014-
01854 in Executive Session on 12 March 2015, under the
