RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02042
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her break in service from 15 May 13 through 30 Jul 13 be removed
from her military personnel records.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her break in service was beyond her control.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 15 May 13, the applicant received an honorable discharge with a
narrative reason for separation of Completion of Required Active
Service. She was credited with 11 years, 11 months and 16 days
of total active service.
On 31 Jul 13, the applicant was appointed by the Secretary of
Defense (SECDEF) to the Air Force Reserves (AFRES) in the grade of
major.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPA recommends approval. DPA states they found no
administrative error and the break in service was of no fault of
the applicant.
Due to a delay in processing of the 11 Mar 13 scroll at the
SECDEF level, the applicant incurred a break in service between
her Date of Separation (DOS) and appointment date into the
AFRES.
Current policies do not allow for backdating oaths; however,
SAF/GCM and the AFBCMR have determined that the AFBCMR has the
authority to adjust the DOS for these officers to prevent a
break in service. The appointment date has been determined to
be the date SECDEF approves the appointment or the date the oath
was administered, whichever is later. Therefore, DPA recommends
the AFBCMR adjust the DOS.
The complete DPA 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 23 Dec 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

the existence of an error or injustice. Having carefully reviewed
