RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02478 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: She be given a waiver of 19 non-paid points during the period of 1 May 1999 and 30 April 2000 to qualify for a reserve retirement in order to receive concurrent receipt. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: At the time of her medical retirement, she requested to stay on active duty long enough to complete her final satisfactory service year for a reserve retirement; however, her request was denied. She later returned to Reserve duty as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA). It took months for ARPC to release her and provide orders to start training. As a result of this delay and her Retention/Retirement (R/R) date being 1 May, she was 19 points short of a satisfactory service year. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Special Order No. ACD 00949 dated 2 April 2009 reflects the applicant was relieved from active duty on 25 June 2009 and was permanently disability retired on 26 June 2009 in the grade of master sergeant. She completed 29 years and 1 day of service for basic pay and 15 years, 7 months and 7 days of active service for retirement. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit B. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTS recommends denial due to the applicant not completing sufficient participation points required by law to qualify for retirement. DPTS states the applicant’s anniversary date was correctly established as 1 May on l May 1989 per AFI 36-2254 V1, Table 2.4 - Note 7. The applicant did not participate beyond 25 June 2009 which led to a career satisfactory service total of 19 years, 10 months and 4 days. The evidence the applicant provides suggests that she served up to the time her health no longer supported military duty and she was medically retired. In short, she did not participate long enough to qualify for 20 years of qualifying service for a non-regular retirement per DoDI 1215.7, Enclosure 3, paragraph 1.a. Life events prevented her from completing points required by Title 10 U.S.C. 12732 (a)(2) to qualify for retirement. However, she is receiving disability retirement compensation. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit B. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 4 November 2014 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).

The application is timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.
