RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02101

  						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her time served, to include active duty Air Force and Air National Guard (ANG), be recalculated.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She is not certain if there are any points missing but would like her points recalculated.  

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered active duty in the Regular Air Force on 10 May 1968.

On 7 June 1974, the applicant requested separation from the Regular Air Force to enable her to establish a joint household and join the Air National Guard.  

Special Order Number AA-0239, dated 6 June 1999, reflects the applicant was transferred to the Retired Reserve and placed on the USAF Retired List in the grade of Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt) effective 1 August 1999 and was credited with 20 years, 4 months, and 27 days of active service for retirement.  She has a total of 27 years, 9 months, and 8 days of service for basic pay.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibit C and D.    

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGP/A1PP notes that they cannot perform point calculations; however, they recommend the applicant contact the Total Force Service Center (TFSC) because the TFSC can provide assistance for all components, retirees, and their family members.

A complete copy of the NGP/A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

ARPC/DPTT states that there is no correction to be made to the applicant’s record or retired pay because everything has been verified as correct.  In this regard, the ARPC Points Management Branch verified that all her active duty days were properly credited and are reflected in her record as shown on the AF Form 526, ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, dated 2 March 1999 (Atch 2).  The applicant’s 20 years, 4 months, and 27 days active service for retirement was calculated based on the active duty reflected in her record.  The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) record reflects that the same active service pay is accurate (Atch 3). 

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 14 July 2016 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.  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 ARPC/DPTT and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice as evidenced by the applicant’s Points Credit Summary and his finance record, which has been confirmed by the ARPC Points Management Branch and DFAS.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

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.
