______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The extension of her enlistment she entered into on 13 Dec 01 be corrected to reflect inclusive dates of 5 Jul 04 to 4 Jan 05.

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She thought that she was entering into an extension of only six months, the amount of time required for her to accept a new assignment, but later discovered during a review of her records that she had been extended for 18 months.

She was unsuccessful in her attempts to either shorten or cancel the erroneous extension.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 5 Jul 00 for a period of four years.  On 13 Dec 01, she entered into an 18 month extension in order to qualify for a permanent change of station (PCS) assignment of 36 months

______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial of the applicant’s request.  The applicant signed the form requesting 18 months of retainability.  The form states in 3 places that she was extending for 18 months.

The complete 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 17 Jan 03 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has not been received.

______________________________________________________________

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, 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.
