RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-05357

							COUNSEL: NONE

							HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 6.5 days of leave lost in fiscal year 2017 (FY17) be restored.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to multiple temporary duties (TDYs), deployment, and operation requirements, he was only able to take 18 days of leave during FY17.  He intended to take additional leave in Jul-Oct, but was selected for a short notice deployment.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:  

The applicant is currently serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Regular Air Force, with a projected Date of Separation (DOS) of 30 Nov 30.  

Military personnel records confirm formal training in Nov and Dec 16, and Jun 17; and deployment on or about 5 Jul – 5 Dec 17.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:  

AFPC/DP2SSM recommended denying the application.  The applicant is not eligible for Special Leave Accrual (SLA).  The applicant did not provide sufficient supporting documents to verify TDYs.  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 that the applicant is not the victim of an error/injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2SSM 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, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the board.
