	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST.  Her record be corrected to reflect an adjustment of six points from the period April 2014 to April 2015 to the period April 2013 to April 2014 and she be credited with a  satisfactory year.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.  Between October 2013 to February 2014 she was transferring from the Wyoming Air National Guard (ANG) to the Virginia ANG.  During this time, she was pregnant and no longer able to travel to Wyoming to perform military duty.  She was not allowed to perform duty with the Virginia ANG until 18 March 2014.  Her non-participation resulted in an unsatisfactory year. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS.  The applicant is a staff sergeant in the Air National Guard.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  ARPC/DPTS recommends denial.  Governing laws and directives do not permit Reserve members to transfer or combine points from multiple years to form a full year.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 24 Jan 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1. The application was timely filed.

2. The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3. After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:  The APPLICANT be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION: The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2017-01348 in Executive Session on 20 Mar 18:
