	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE

	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED: NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  5 AUG 2006

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

It appears applicant is requesting he be credited with three additional active duty points for the period 26 Jul - 28 Jul 00, and one additional point of inactive duty for 3 Dec 00 for Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 17 Jan 01.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He reported for duty and performed a weekend duty trip that was not reflected on his point summary.  On 3 Dec 00, he reported to the dental clinic to receive an exam which cleared him to return to duty (Physical Profile Status P-1), however, he was not credited with any points.

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement; a copy of a Travel Payment Summary, dated 18 Oct 04; Standard Form 603A, Health Record, (reflecting an entry on 3 Dec 00); and AF Form 422, dated 3 Dec 00.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 31 Jul 84.  He currently has a duty title of Propulsion Branch Technician.  He was promoted to the grade of technical sergeant with an effective date and date of rank of 1 Apr 98.

Applicant’s ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary reflects that during RYE 17 Jan 01, he was credited with 48 total and retirement points and an unsatisfactory year for retirement.

He has been credited with 18 years, 5 months, and 17 days of satisfactory federal service towards retirement.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPM reviewed this application and recommended denial.  Based on their analysis of the case, the documentation that was provided was not sufficient enough to show that he performed duty during the time he is requesting a correction of his record.  Applicant was informed that he would need to provide a copy of the certified order for the 26 - 28 Jul 00 timeframe.  AF Form 422 does not validate that the applicant performed duty; an AF Form 40A is required to validate his participation on 3 Dec 00.  Applicant received no military pay for the periods that he is requesting be corrected.

EXAMINER’S NOTE:  In accordance with AFMAN 36-8001, Reserve Personnel Participation and Training Procedures, a reserve member is required to earn a minimum of 50 points (including membership points) in their full Retention/Retirement (R/R) year for award of a year of satisfactory federal service for retirement.

A complete copy of the evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8 Apr 05 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case.  Based on the evidence of record and that verified by HQ Air Force Reserve Command (HQ AFRC), it appears the applicant has received credit for all participation performed during the Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 17 Jan 01.  Other than his own assertions, the applicant has not provided the required documentation validating his participation during the periods in question; i.e., a copy of the certified order for the period 26‑28 Jul 00, and an AF Form 40A validating his duty on 3 Dec 00.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force Reserve and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
