AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Field Operations Branch, AFPC/DPSFM, reviewed the application and states that the service member's pay file indicates he sold back 54 days of leave on 21 June 1981.  The applicant provided an AF Form 1089, which the member completes at the time of reenlistment.  The information on the form is provided by the member and is not verified by any source documents.  The member's leave and earning statement reflects how much leave a member has sold in a career each month.  Based on the information reflected in his pay file, DPSFM recommends denying the applicant's request.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 July 2001, for review and response.  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 probable error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In this respect, the applicant's pay file indicates that he sold and was paid for 54 days of leave on 21 Jun 81.  The AF Form 1089 provided by applicant is duly noted; however, this document was completed by the applicant at the time of reenlistment and he provided no source documents to verify the information on the form.  As the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice, we find no compelling 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 probable 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.
