IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-04346

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX			COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Ten (10) days of lost leave be restored to his leave balance. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Finance erroneously provided a leave computation that did not account for his 10 days of use/lose leave.
 
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of master sergeant.  

According to a memorandum dated 19 Oct 16, provided by the applicant, the 20 Comptroller Squadron/FMF Flight Chief, stated the applicant’s leave was erroneously calculated without factoring in his use/lose leave; therefore, he lost 10 days at the end of Fiscal Year 16 (FY16).

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 B. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends granting the applicant’s request, indicating he lost leave due to an error by his local finance office.

In accordance with AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, dated 11 May 16, paragraph 6.1.9, “if the Board restores leave to current leave account, the member must use the days prior to the end of the current FY.” 
A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2SSM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 4 Oct 17, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).  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 and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected as indicated below.
