AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPP states the applicant was commissioned into the Air Force Reserves on 14 June 1990.  His extended active duty obligation was fulfilled on 2 October 1998.  He was assigned to the Individual Mobilization Augmentee Program.  The applicant's R/R date was established by the Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System (PCARS) as 2 October.  

In accordance with the Air Force Manual 36-8001, Table 2.4, the R/R dated is established based on the member's initial entry into uniformed service.  The applicant's history was audited in April 1999 and added to PCARS.  Based on the audit, the applicant's R/R 
was changed from 2 October to 14 June.  The applicant was notified on 17 April 1999 about the change in his R/R date and that his  points  were  being  realigned to  coincide  with the 14 June R/R date.  DPP further states the applicant was notified of the change in his R/R year date in April 1999 and he received an AF Form 526 for RYE 13 June 1999, and furthermore, the applicant had adequate time to earn points for the RYE 13 June 2000.  DPP recommends denying the applicant's request (Exhibit C).

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 23 August 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.	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.  It appears he was advised by ARPC in April 1999 that his R/R date was incorrect and that it was being corrected and his points adjusted accordingly.  The applicant asserts that this change in his records caused him to have an unsatisfactory year for the year ending 13 June 2000.  However, in our opinion, since the applicant was notified in April 1999, he was provided more than sufficient notice of this change in order for him to acquire the  points necessary  for a satisfactory  year of service from 14 June 1999 to 13 June 2000.  Therefore, in the absence of 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.
