RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2008-01137 INDEX CODE:	121.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he had a balance of twelve
(12) days of leave at the time of his separation from the Air Force.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He transferred from the Air Force to the Army in November 2007 under the Blue to Green Program. When he was discharged from the Air Force, he was offered the opportunity to be paid for his leave balance or to have the balance transferred to the Army. He chose to have his leave balance transferred; however, it was not.

In support of his application, the applicant provides a copy of his last Leave and Earning Statement (LES) from the Air Force, dated 1 November 2007.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 21 September 2004. He was progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-4) effective and with a date of rank of 5 March 2007. He separated from the Air Force effective 25 November 2007 and transferred to the Army under the Blue to Green Program effective 26 November 2007. He served three years, two months, and five days on active duty with the Air Force.

The remaining relevant facts are contained in the Air Force office of primary responsibility’s evaluation at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIMC recommends denial of the applicant’s request to transfer 12 days of leave; however, recommends that item #16 on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active

Duty, be corrected to reflect 4 days accrued leave paid. DPSIMC states the applicant carried forward 12 days of leave at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) and earned 5 days of leave prior to his separation during FY07. He used 13 days of leave during FY07 and, according to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) system; he was paid for the remaining 4 days of leave on 25 December 2007. This reduced the applicant’s leave balance to 0.

The DPSIMC evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 16 May 2008 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no 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 an error or an injustice. We note the applicant’s contention that he lost 12 days of leave when he transferred to the Army; however, the Air Force office of primary responsibility indicates the applicant only had four days of unused leave at the time he separated from the Air Force, which he was paid for on 25 December 2007 according to DFAS records. Therefore, since it appears the applicant has already been compensated for his unused leave, we are of the opinion that no further correction is warranted. However, if the applicant has evidence to the contrary that’s entitles him to more than the four days of unused leave, we will consider his evidence when submitted. 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.
