         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00514
		INDEX CODE:  128.05

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her enlistment extension be canceled and a reenlistment authorized in its place in order to receive a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of AF Form 1411 (Extension or Cancellation of Extensions of Enlistment in the Regular Air Force/Air Force Reserve), an e-mail with a message concerning the SRB program and an extract from AFI 36‑2606.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of senior airman (E-4).

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied.  DPPAE stated that, on 17 Oct 00, the applicant extended her 6 year, 29 Jun 95, reenlistment for 12 months and now has a new date of separation (DOS) of 28 Jun 02.  The applicant’s previous DOS was 28 Jun 01.  At the time the applicant requested information about reenlisting, current policy stated that a member could only reenlist 90 days prior to their expiration of term of service (ETS).  As the applicant was more than 90 days from her ETS, she was not eligible to reenlist and receive the Zone B bonus.  The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 14 June 2002 for review and response.  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 their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, absent sufficient evidence to the contrary, 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 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.
