RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00793
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His enlistment into the Air Force Reserves (AFR) be corrected 
from 30 Aug 13 to 21 Aug 13, to remove his break in service.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His intentions were to separate from the Army into the AFR 
without a break in service.

His AFR recruiter informed him that he sent a DD Form 368, 
Request for Conditional Release, to the Army to release him from 
the Army Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR).  The form was not signed 
until 26 Aug 13 and his enlistment was scheduled for 30 Aug 13.  
The AFR recruiter failed to enlist him in to the reserves 
without a break in service from active duty in the United States 
Army (USA).  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 21 Aug 08, the applicant enlisted in the Army.  

On 20 Aug 13, he received an honorable discharge from active 
duty.  

On 21 Aug 13, he transferred to the Army IRR as an E-4.  

On 30 Aug 13, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserves.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIE recommends denial.  There is no evidence of an error 
or an injustice.  AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed that 
on 30 Aug 13, the applicant initialed the DD Form 4/1, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, along with other enlistment documents.  DPSIE cannot 
validate why there is a break in service from the Army to the 
AFR and it appears the recruiter did everything correct.  
Following guidance in AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of 
Rank, chapter 2, paragraph 6, 30 Aug 13 is the correct date of 
enlistment.

The complete DPSIE evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 16 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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 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 of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
