RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05680 XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The extra/erroneous time he was retained in the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) be added to his Mandatory Separation Date (MSD). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was assigned to ISLRS, effective 1 Jul 02. In accordance with the governing Air Force instruction, officers are retained in ISLRS for three years, therefore, he should have been discharged on 30 Jun 05. This administrative oversight was not his fault. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his orders reassigning him to ISLRS; a letter of notification from the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC), dated 12 Dec 07; letter of discharge notification, dated 7 Jul 08, and various other documents. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 26 Feb 00, the applicant was voluntarily released from active duty with a reason for separation of completion of required active service and was transferred to the Non-obligation Non- participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS). He was credited with 14 years, 2 months, and 10 days of active duty service. On 1 Jul 02, the applicant was transferred from the NNRPS to the ISLSR. On 7 Jul 08, he was honorably discharged from all appointments. On 13 Sep 10, the applicant was appointed as a Reserve of the Air Force in the grade of major. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTT recommends approval of discharge after three years in ISLRS effective 30 Jun 03 (sic). The applicant’s record should be corrected to reflect a break in service from 1 Jul 03 (sic) to 13 Sep 10, If approved. In accordance with AFI 36-2115, Assignments within the Reserve Components, para 4.4.2.1., Reserve officers generally remain in ISLRS for three years after which they may be screened for involuntary discharge. The complete DPTT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 17 Feb 13 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). At the time the applicant’s case was being staffed for presentation to the Board, the applicant was notified that the advisory opinion recommended that he be discharged on 30 Jun 03. However, the correct recommendation should have been 30 Jun 05. On 31 Oct 13, by email, the applicant agreed with the corrected recommendation and no revision to the advisory opinion was required. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely filed. 3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective action. The Air Force OPR has addressed the issues presented by the applicant and we are in agreement with their opinion and the corrected recommendation. In addition, while we note the applicant’s stated request to have the erroneous time in ISLRS added to his MSD, since he has not attained the grade of lieutenant colonel, by law, he does not have an established MSD. Therefore, we recommend his discharge date be changed from 7 Jul 08 to 30 Jun 05. We believe this correction as recommended provides the applicant full and fitting relief. Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as indicated below. 4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he was discharged from all appointments, on 30 Jun 05 rather than 7 Jul 08. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-05680 in Executive Session on 7 Nov 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
