RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-01980
		INDEX CODE: 128.05
 	XXXXXXX				COUNSEL:  NONE
			  		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Date of Separation (DOS) be changed to reflect the correct DOS.

2.  His records be corrected to reflect he is entitled to a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 6 April 2005, the applicant submitted an application to the Board requesting he be given a SRB in conjunction with his 13 October 2004 reenlistment.

On 14 July 2005, the Board considered and denied his request.  For an accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

On 10 May 2007, the applicant requested the Board change his DOS to reflect 12 October 2008 and to reconsider his request that he receive an SRB.  He provided excerpts from AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted), copies of his enlistment/reenlistment documents and data extracted from AFPC’s website.  His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.   

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states the applicant entered the Air Force on 16 January 2001 for a period of four years.  This established his DOS as 15 January 2005.  On 13 October 2004, he reenlisted for a period of five years and six months.  This reenlistment established a new DOS of 12 April 2010.  However, the correct obligated service was three months; therefore, his actual reenlistment should have been for five years and three months.  Based on the actual reenlistment and obligated service he has a correct DOS of 12 January 2010.  This DOS is currently reflected in the Military Personal Data Systems (MILPDS) and on Defense Finance Accounting Service files.  The Board should direct his DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States be corrected to reflect the reenlistment of five years and three months vice the current contract of five years and six months.  MILPDS and DFAS files reflect the reenlistment of five years and three months for a DOS of 12 January 2010.  There is no evidence to support the requested DOS of 12 October 2008.

The complete DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit H.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant responded stating he does not wish to change his DOS to 12 October 2008 as stated in the advisory.  He sent paperwork stating he had the wrong DOS on record.  He states the Board agreed and changed his DOS to 12 October 2008 when it should have been 16 January 2009.

His complete response, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit I.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support of his appeal, we are not persuaded that the applicant’s DOS should be changed nor are we persuaded that he should have been authorized an SRB.  We carefully considered the information provided by the applicant.  However, while the information he obtained from the VMPF listed incorrect information, his enlistment contract contains the correct information and is consistent with the data in the military personnel data system.  In regards to his request for an SRB, the applicant accepted retraining into the Communications Career Field and as a result, he waived all rights to the SRB in his previous career field.  Absent persuasive evidence to the contrary we find no compelling basis to recommend favorable consideration of his application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

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