RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02372
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His break in service from 6 Apr 13 through 10 Jun 13 be removed
from his military personnel records.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should not have had a break in service and his Date of Rank
(DOR) should not have changed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 Apr 13, the applicant received an honorable discharge with a
narrative reason for separation of Completion of Required Active
Service. He was credited with 4 years, 8 months and 28 days of
total active service.
On 11 Jun 13, the applicant was appointed by the Secretary of
Defense (SECDEF) to the Air Force Reserves (AFRES) in the grade of
captain.
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
his 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 1 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
