AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The applicant failed to provide Wing CC/CV approval, leave [sic] training rips and or training schedules. 

IAW AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, paragraph 10.6. Special Leave Accrual (SLA) Approval Authority.  The wing or vice commander has final approval authority.  (Wing/CC or Wing /CV will recommend approval for SLA packages requiring AFBCMR approval).  At other organizations (i.e. Air Staff, MAJCOM, FOA, DRU) the senior officer representative (O-6 and above) or equivalent at the directorate level approves SLA for his/her organization.  At joint organizations, the senior Air Force officer representative on staff approves SLA for members assigned to units, headquarters, and supporting staffs.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2SSM evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11 May 16 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.  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 Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  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.
