RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02867 XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be awarded points for the period Jul 92 through Apr 95 and that each year be credited as a year of satisfactory service towards retirement. ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was not credited with good years for the entire time he served as an Air Reserve Technician (ART). In 2012, he realized that he was not credited with any retirement points during this period and has been trying to resolve this issue ever since. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: Based on the Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System (PCARS), after a civilian break of almost seven years, on 24 Sep 92, the applicant returned to the Air Force Reserve. He was credited with a satisfactory year of service for his Retirement Year Ending 23 Sep 93. According to Reserve Order (RO) A-079, on 23 Nov 93, he was assigned to the Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS). The assignment action reason on the order indicated the applicant had a job/school conflict. On 2 Sep 96, he was released from the NNRPS and assigned to the security police squadron at Westover AFB MA. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTS recommends denial stating, in part, that the applicant's account of service dates and times do not coincide with the documentation in his military service history on file. He does not have any Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) because none exist. He was not in a point gaining activity nor was he able to earn retirement points during the three years he was assigned to the NNRPS. Therefore, he could not earn satisfactory Federal service years. Moreover, his request for satisfactory service years while assigned to NNRPS is not in compliance with the applicable law. The applicant received a satisfactory retirement year ending 23 Sep 93. The complete DPTS 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 5 Aug 13 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 that 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 AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-02867 in Executive Session on 3 Apr 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
