APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The order-end-date was incorrect on his orders, and didn’t provide him sufficient time to exercise all of the pay and entitlements he earned. The rest of the deploying personnel in his unit had their orders extended to correct this error, but his orders were not extended. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served in the Air Force Reserve during the matter under review. Under Reserve Order Number A5GBRK, dated 28 Mar 13, the applicant was involuntarily mobilized in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM during the period 31 Aug 13 through 4 Feb 14. According to the documentation provided by the applicant he arrived back home after his Operation ENDURING FREEDOM deployment on 24 Jan 14. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibits C and D. AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: SAF/MRM recommends granting the applicant’s request, indicating there was an error or injustice. SAF/MR Memorandum, Exception to Policy (ETP) for Military Personnel Appropriation (MPA) Tours for Air Reserve Component (ARC) Airmen Involuntarily Held in the AFCENT AOR, dated 19 Dec 13, approved a temporary ETP to allow ARC members on MPA tour to exercise the leave days they were unable to use due to a delay in returning from the USAFCENT AOR. However, the ETP expired on 30 Mar 14, several months prior to this request for the same authority. Based upon the submitted information, leave was lost through no fault of the applicant. Recommend the lost leave he earned be restored, however, the days requested must be verified with AFRC/A1. A complete copy of the SAF/MRM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. AFRC/A1RR does not make a recommendation. The leave calculation associated with the applicant’s deployment was calculated utilizing the policy, procedures, and guidance in effect at the time. On 1 Jul 15, after the date of the applicant’s deployment, new procedures were agreed to which increase the leave awarded for this applicant by one day. If the Board elects to determine the applicant’s authorized leave utilizing the procedures in effect at the time, recommend adjusting his end of tour date by 16 additional days from 4 Feb 14 to 20 Feb 14 to allow for 14 total days downtime, 14 days of leave, and no post deployment mobilization respite absence (PDMRA). A complete copy of the AFRC/A1RR evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 7 Oct 15 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's complete submission, we believe the applicant has not been the victim of an error, but did suffered an injustice by not having the opportunity to use all of the leave he accrued during his deployment in support of OEF. While we note the comments of SAF/MRM indicating relief should be granted because the applicant was unable to use said leave, the Board is prevented from fashioning a remedy in this case because the applicant performed conflicting duty over the same period of time during which he is requesting his orders be extend. A member cannot be place into ordinary leave status during the same period of time he has already been credited with service. However, the accrued leave he was unable to take should have been added to his leave balance, and will remain available to him to either sell or take at some point in the future. The applicant has provided no documentation to establish there is an error in his leave balance or that he inappropriately lost leave the leave he was unable to take. In other words, it appears to the Board the leave system worked as designed and no error occurred. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD CONCLUDES 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.
