RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2016-01606

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Two pay points be added or moved to her 2013 Reserve Year, prior to 3 Jun 14, to accommodate a satisfactory year of service for 2013.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was misinformed by the Base Individual Mobilization Augmentee Administrator (BIMAA) during her first annual tour of duty.  She was told her Retirement/Retention (R/R) date had changed to 26 Nov due to her break in service.  Her BIMAA instructed her on how to acquire a satisfactory year by performing her annual tour and Inactive Duty for Training prior to her R/R date of 26 Nov.

In 2015, she realized she did not have a satisfactory year in 2013 because two of her points were outside her R/R date, which had not changed from 3 Jun.  Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) informed her she never had a break in service.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 Jul 11, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge and credited with 8 years, 10 months, and 18 days active service.

Under Reserve Order PC-00211, dated 16 Nov 11, the applicant was appointed into the Ready Reserve, effective 2 Jul 11.

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve.

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of error or injustice.

The applicant’s record was correctly built in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1215.07, Service Credit for Reserve Retirement, Enclosure 3, paragraph 1c(1) which instructs that a new R/R date will not be established when a member transfers between components unless there is a break in service.  This member did not have a break in service and her R/R date was established as 3 Jun 02 when she entered the Air Force.

While the applicant contends she was misinformed by her BIMAA regarding her R/R date, she does not provide any supporting evidence to substantiate her contention, such as a statement from the BIMAA or documentation reflecting the incorrect R/R date.

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS 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 22 Feb 17 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, other than her own assertions, she has presented no evidence of an error on the part of the Air Force or that she was treated differently than others similarly situated.  Subsequently, we 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 not been the victim of an error or 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.
