RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04010 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her records be corrected to reflect satisfactory service for Calendar Year (CY) 1987 through 1988. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She completed the entire year with more than 50 points, however she cannot provide an accurate number of Man-days she worked in addition to all Unit Training Assemblies (UTAs) she completed. Her house, which contained all of her service documentation, was nearly destroyed during Hurricane Andrew in 1992; therefore, her proof and documentation is limited. In Jan 87 she transferred from the 482nd Maintenance Squadron to the 70th Aerial Port Squadron during the Jan 87 UTA. After recovering from Hurricane Andrew she was able to recover some documents from CY 1987, which are included in her request. These documents show proof of her progress throughout that year. From 1988 to 2002 she took a break in service to have a family but quickly returned to service in 2002 to continue a proud and rewarding career in the Air Force. According to her Point Summary Report, (Service History) her total points were always higher than required. She wants the Board to consider her records as proof that she has maintained good standings before and after her break in service and hopes the Board will favorably consider her request. In support of her request, the applicant provides electronic communiqués, copies of Equipment receipt, Application For Reserve Forces Dependent ID Card, Career Development Course Completion, Personal Data Requirements, Order of the Sword selection letter, Appointment Letter, Enlisted Performance Reports, Individual Information Report and Point Summary Report. The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in the grade of master sergeant (E-7). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. DPTS states the applicant’s assertions are not correct because she based her argument on a CY versus the retention/retirement (R/R) year. For R/R year beginning 24 Jan 87 through 23 Jan 88, the applicant received an unsatisfactory Federal Service Year. AF Form 526, ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, shows her day-by-day participation and reflects 47 total retirement points. The applicant's supporting documentation does not provide any proof of additional active or inactive duty training that may be missing from her record. The point credit summary already includes ten Extension Course Institute points for the Personnel Technician Course 73270. She failed to present any proof showing she was denied participation or any documentation for additional active or inactive duty training. To verify and ensure all possible participation was captured and recorded on the AF Form 526, ARPC obtained pay records which correspond exactly to the dates and number of points on the summary. Both the summary and pay records indicate a five month period of nonparticipation from Jun through Oct 87. The complete DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 16 Dec 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). ________________________________________________________________ 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 its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 10 Apr 12, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered in AFBCMR BC- 2011-04010: Exhibit A.
