RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04493 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His activation order end date be changed from 12 May 14 to 5 Jun 14. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was forced to forfeit 16 days of military leave that he earned during his deployment due to his military activation orders ending on 12 May 14. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: During the matter in question, the applicant was serving in the Air National Guard in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5). 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 relief, indicating sufficient evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. The Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES) records showed the applicant’s original deployment time-in-theater end date was 19 Apr 14. However, the actual end date, in accordance with the member-filed travel voucher, was 22 Apr 14. The member arrived at home station on 26 Apr 14 according to the DCAPES record. The member’s leave should have been calculated from 14 Aug 13 (the start of the order) to 12 May 14, calculated as 16 days after date arrived at home station (14 Post Deployment Stand-Down Time (PDSDT), the maximum downtime in accordance with the AFSC PDSDT Policy, and two in-processing days). This totals 23 days of regular leave. The member’s 14 Aug 13 to 12 May 14 orders only afforded him 16 days to allow the two days of in-processing, to use PDSDT (14 days), which he took, and to execute his Regular (ordinary) Leave (23 days). The applicant would have required a total of 39 days to take all of his allowable leave. During the applicant’s orders for the period of 14 Aug 13 through 12 May 14 and per AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, he earned 22.5 days of Regular Leave, documented on the Defense Joint Military Pay System – Reserve Component record. Contact with the applicant’s squadron logistics plans technician confirmed the correct order end date should be 4 Jun 14. Recommend changing the applicant’s activation order end date from 12 May 14 to 4 Jun 14 and correcting the applicant’s military records and compensation of military pay, points, and applicable benefits for 23 days (39 minus 16) of chargeable leave, by updating the end date of tour from 12 May 14 to 4 Jun 14. A complete copy of the NGB/A1P 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 Sep 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.  Sufficient 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 and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. While the Air Force OPR recommends the applicant’s records be corrected to reflect that he was not released from active duty on 12 May 14, but continued to serve until 4 Jun 14, we believe it is appropriate to further correct the applicant’s records to reflect that said period was classified as ordinary leave to ensure the applicant is actually charged for the leave and preclude the possibility of an unearned windfall. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as 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 he was not relieved from mobilization under Title 10, United States Code, Section 12302 in support of operation ENDURING FREEDOM on 12 May 2014, but continued to serve on extended active duty, in an ordinary leave status, until 4 June 2014. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-04493 in Executive Session on 4 Nov 15, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: All members voted to correct the records as recommended. The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-04493 was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 9 Sep 14, w/atchs. Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
