						COUNSEL:  NONE

HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He receive a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) with his 14 June 2011 enlistment.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He completed the required documentation in order to receive his SRB, but was not paid for it.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 September 2003 in the grade of airman basic.  The Retrieval Applications Web reflects the applicant is currently serving in the grade of technical sergeant, effective and with a date of rank of 1 January 2015.  The applicant’s current expiration term of service is 13 January 2019.

The applicant’s AFSC is 2T3X1 - Vehicle Equipment Maintenance.

For more information, see the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The applicant does not state what SRB (zone or multiple) he wants.  Additionally, the applicant’s 14 June 2011 reenlistment contract, which he signed on 8 June 2011, does not include entitlement to a SRB.  SRB entitlement must be documented on a reenlistment or extension contract; no other documents can authorize entitlement to a SRB.

Although the requested correction is in reference to actions taken over 7 years ago, the application is considered timely as the applicant is still on active duty.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2SSM 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 2 January 2018 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, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.
