APPLICANT’S REQUEST.   His UPT and initial qualification training orders under Title 32 be changed to Title 10 orders.  

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.   He was not aware of the difference between Title 10 and Title 32 orders.  He learned during a seminar that others were issued Title 10 orders for UPT attendance.  

STATEMENT OF FACTS.  The applicant is a lieutenant colonel (O-5) in the Air National Guard.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory opinions at Exhibits C and E. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  NGB/A1D recommends denial.  All orders for UPT attendance prior to 19 Oct 09 were under Title 32 status.  The applicant completed UPT on 13 Sep 04 and mission essential skills training on 13 Dec 04.   The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

OTHER EVALUATION:  OASD lists the qualifying positions for Full-Time National Guard Duty Qualifying for a Reduced Eligibility Age for Receipt of Retired Pay for Non-Regular Service.  Attendance at UPT is not on the list.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit E.  

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE AND OTHER EVALUATIONS.  The Board sent copies of the Air Force evaluation and the OASD memorandum to the applicant on 10 Nov 17 and 9 Jan 18, respectively, (Exhibits D and F), 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 that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with NGB/A1D and OASD 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 the submission of relevant evidence not considered with this application.
