RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00962

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be allowed to sell back 30 days of accrued leave.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He should be allowed to sell back his accrued leave because he was 
not made aware that he had to complete an AF Form 1089, Leave 
Settlement Option, prior to reenlisting.  

His Military Personnel Flight (MPF) did not properly advise him 
that he had to complete the AF Form 1089, prior to reenlisting, 
and he should not be held accountable for the mistakes of others.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 17 Sep 13, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four years 
and 2 months.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends approval.  DPSOA states it is clear the 
applicant intended to sell back 30 days of leave.  It was the 
Military Personnel Section’s fault that the AF Form 1089 was 
signed after his reenlistment.  

The applicant’s AF Form 1089, dated 28 Oct 13, should be honored 
and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) should pay 
the applicant for the 30 days of leave he intended to sell in 
conjunction with his 17 Sep 13 reenlistment. 

The complete DPSOA 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 15 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).  
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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective action.  
Having carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision 
that the applicant has been the victim of either an error or an 
injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s record be 
corrected to the extent indicated below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of 
his reenlistment in the Regular Air Force, on 17 Sep 13, he 
elected to sell back thirty (30) days of unused accrued leave.
