IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00120
			INDEX NUMBER:  121.00
			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His pay records be corrected to show that he previously sold thirty (30) days of leave rather than sixty (60) days.  

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) is incorrect.  His reenlistment papers do not indicate payment of 30 or 60 days leave.  

Applicant provides no supporting documentation.  A copy of the applicant's submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) reflects that the applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of master sergeant with a date or rank and effective date of 1 June 1996.  MilPDS reflects he has submitted a retirement application.  

His Master Military Pay account reflects he sold 60 days of leave on 29 November 1983.  

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSFM recommends the application be denied.  DPSFM states that the applicant’s master military pay account reflects he sold 60 days of leave on 29 November 1983.  Title 37, U.S.C., Section 501, limits payment for accrued leave to 60 days in a military career.  The history printout indicates the applicant was entitled to $1,585.80 for 60 days of leave sold, which was taxed at 20 percent and he received $1,268.64 on 18 December 1983 from his local finance office for the leave sold.  

A copy of the complete Air Force evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 28 March 2003, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response.  As of this date, this office has not received a response.  

_________________________________________________________________

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.  After reviewing the evidence of record, we are not persuaded that the applicant’s records are in error or that he has been the victim of an injustice.  His contentions are noted; however, in our opinion, the comments and evidence provided by the appropriate Air Force office adequately address his contention.  Therefore, we adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to grant relief.  

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
