AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFMPC/DPPAO states block 13 on the applicant's Extended Active Duty Orders (AF Form 766) has his effective date of duty as on or after 3 February 2002 and that he should report to Los Angeles AFB, no later than 2400 hours on that date.  Based on the information provided, DPPAO recommends denying the applicant's request.

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 5 April 2002, 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.	Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  After reviewing the evidence of record, it appears that the applicant's appointment in the Air Force Reserve was on 12 January 2002 and he was notified to report for in-processing on 15 January 2002.  While applicant's extended active duty orders reflect he was to report on 3 February 2002, we note the orders in question were issued on 31 July 2001.  In view of the evidence of record, we believe that the applicant's request should be approved.  Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show he entered active duty on 15 January 2002, rather than 3 February 2002.
