RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2018-00020

XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Twenty-Seven (27) days of lost leave be restored.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigations Joint Terrorism Task Force and due to the high operations tempo was unable to use his leave. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of master sergeant.  For more information, see the advisory at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends denying the application.  The applicant failed to provide supporting documentation from his supervisor, stating that he was unable to take leave due to the operations tempo.  Furthermore, the applicant lost 22 days of leave, and not 27.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 20 Jun 18 for comment (Exhibit C), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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, the Board concludes that the applicant is not the victim of an error or 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.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed 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.
