RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04487 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The end date on his activation order, Special Order Number R-C000037, dated 4 May 13, be changed from 12 May 14 to 27 May 14. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was unjustly forced to forfeit 16 days of military leave. He was involuntarily activated under Title 10 orders in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. When he returned from deployment, his order end date precluded him from taking the military leave he earned. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served in the Air National Guard (ANG) during the matter under review. He is currently serving in the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt/E-5) with the Tennessee ANG. On 4 May 13, the applicant was issued Special Order Number R-C000037, activating him in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM during the period 14 Aug 13 through 12 May 14. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1P recommends granting partial relief indicating there is evidence of an error or an injustice. Per leave guidance in AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, the applicant earned 22.5 days of Regular Leave while serving on orders covering the period 14 Aug 13 through 12 May 14. This was documented on his Leave and Earnings Statement (LES). In accordance with AFSPC Leave Policy, he would have been granted 14 days of Post Deployment Stand-Down Time (PDSDT) based on his 189 days deployed time in-theater. However, his orders covering the period 14 Aug 13 through 12 May 14 only afforded him 21 days during which to use PDSDT (14 days) and Regular Leave (22.5 days), which total 36.5 days. His Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES) records did not include an entry in the original deployment time-in-theater end date. The actual end date, in accordance with the member-filed travel voucher, was 22 Apr 14. Recommend the Board correct the end date of his deployment from 12 May 14 to 28 May 14 so he can receive compensation of military pay, points, and applicable benefits for an additional 15.5 days (36.5 total days due minus 21 afforded). A complete copy of the NGB/A1P evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2 Nov 15, 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. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's complete submission, we believe the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice. While we note the comments of NGB/A1PR indicating relief should be granted because the applicant was unable to use all of the leave he accrued during his deployment in support of OEF, we believe a preponderance of the evidence substantiates that corrective action is not warranted. In this respect, we note the applicant served in an active duty capacity during the period of time immediately following his return from deployment, which prevents the Board from extending the end date of his deployment orders for the purpose of placing him in ordinary leave status. As a result, the accrued leave he was unable to take should have been added to his leave balance, and remained available to him to either sell or take at some point in the future. The applicant has provided no documentation to establish that there is an error in his leave balance or that he inappropriately lost leave. In other words, it appears to the Board that the leave system worked as designed and no error or injustice occurred. 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.
