RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-00796
		INDEX CODE:  128.05

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS:

A Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) in conjunction with his 48‑month enlistment extension.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was counseled by the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) that he would be eligible to receive an SRB if he executed a 48-month extension.  He completed an Air Force (AF) Form 1411, Extension or Cancellation of Extensions of Enlistment in the Regular Air Force/Air Force Reserve; however, he never received a copy of the updated AF Form 1411.  He has subsequently learned that his enlistment remains unchanged.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his AF Form 1411, dated Oct 00, e-mail traffic and his Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), closing 31 Oct 00.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 25 Nov 91.  He continued to enlist, with his last enlistment occurring on 2 Dec 99 for a period of four years.  An AF Form 1411 reveals that, on 10 Oct 00, he requested a 48-month extension of his 2 Dec 99 enlistment for the purpose of qualifying for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) assignment.  His extension was approved on 11 Oct 00, changing his date of separation (DOS) of 1 Dec 03 to 1 Dec 07.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied.  DPPAE states that the AF Form 1411, Section IX, Block 5, stipulates that the SRB payment will be based on the SRB multiple in effect on the date the form is signed.  The SRB zone of eligibility will be determined by the date the member enters the extension.  The applicant entered Zone C on 25 Nov 01; therefore, that is the SRB multiple he would be eligible to receive.  The SRB list, in effect as of the date the applicant signed the AF Form 1411, does not reflect Zone C as being authorized an SRB.  DPPAE states that when the applicant signed the AF Form 1411, his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was not eligible to receive a Zone C SRB; therefore, he is not eligible to receive an SRB when he enters his extension in Dec 03.  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 11 Apr 03 for review and response.  As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

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 the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.  In view of the above and absent 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.
