 INDEX CODE: 110.00 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Corrective action be made to his records to restore 14.5 days of 
leave. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He did not have time to take leave due to short notification for 
a contingency temporary duty (TDY), pre-deployment training and 
combat skills training. 

 

In support of his appeal, he provides copies of documents 
extracted from his military records. 

 

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The documentation the applicant submitted reflects he was 
scheduled to attend pre-deployment training from 16 Aug 09 
through 22 Aug 09, 24 Aug 09 through 30 Aug 09, 28 Sep 09 through 
2 Oct 09.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIMC recommends denial. DPSIMC notes the applicant had 
25 days prior to his departure for his pre-deployment training to 
take the 14.5 days of leave. The governing instructions states, 
service members who have use or lose leave in August or September 
risk losing leave on 1 October if military requirements or 
personal circumstances prevent them from taking leave at that 
particular time.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 9 Jul 10, for review and comment within 30 days. 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
relief. In light of the supporting letter from the commander 
attesting to the applicant's inability to use leave due to the 
short notice deployment and training requirements, we believe the 
applicant's request should be granted. Therefore, we recommend 
his records be corrected to the extent indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that 14.5 days of 
leave were restored to his current leave account.
