IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-05060

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE	

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His position number and Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) be corrected to show AFSC T11F3Q, Fighter Pilot, instead of AFSC 11K3D, Trainer Pilot.    

He receive his incentive bonus for AFSC T11F3Q.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His AF Form 1288, Application for Ready Reserve Assignment, dated 22 Sep 15 mistakenly assigned him to an incorrect position number and AFSC.  As a result, an error occurred on his Appointment Order and it is preventing him from receiving his incentive bonus for the 11F AFSC.   The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a major in the Air Force Reserve.  

AF Form 1288 dated 22 Sep 15, shows authorized AFSC 11K3D and duty position number 08129460M.  

ARPC IMT 92, Appointment Order, Reserve Order PC-00111 dated 28 Oct 15, show his date of appointment and assignment on 28 Oct 15 in the grade of major, Primary AFSC 11K3D and Position Control Number 0812946.   

The applicant provides a Statement of Understanding dated 1 Oct 15, which shows he was being assigned to position number 08131840M, with an authorized grade of major in AFSC T11F3Q and he agreed to appointment in the Air Force Reserve in a critical AFSC which was approved for a bonus entitlement.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/A1K recommends approval.  Based on the documentation provided, there is evidence the applicant’s position number and AFSC changed on his appointment order.   The applicant provides an UMPR dated 19 Aug 16, which shows he was assigned to AFSC T11F3Q but missing the position number.  AFRC/A1K contacted the applicant’s squadron commander and confirmed there was an error on his position number when gained; however, he was reassigned to a different position number.  In accordance with the FY15 Officer and Enlisted Incentive Program both AFSCs 11F and 11K were listed.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.
