RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01030 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be credited with eleven (11) non-paid inactive duty training 
(IDT) points for the Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 17 Feb 96. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Upon his transfer from active duty to the Air Force Reserve, the 
Military Personnel Flight advised him that by completing his 
normal training requirement he would be able to acquire enough 
points to be credited with a good year. He followed these 
instructions exactly and performed his duty with precision, all 
the while believing that the calendar/clock worked like it did 
on active duty. He discovered that his Retention/Retirement 
(R/R) year anniversary was in February, resulting in his first 
year of participation being an unsatisfactory year of service. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 526, Air Nation Guard/Air Force Reserve Point Credit 
Summary, prepared 20 Apr 96. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was released from active duty, 13 Oct 94, and 
transferred to the Air Force Reserve, without a break-in-
service. Upon his assignment to a Reserve unit, effective 
25 Aug 95, he completed his first training period, in Sept 95. 
During RYE 17 Feb 96, he was credited with 24 points towards 
retirement.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 


ARPC/DPTS recommends approval, stating, in part, the applicant 
claims to have been led to believe that he would complete a 
satisfactory year of Federal service by attending scheduled unit 
training assemblies (UTAs) each month commencing in Sep 95. The 
well-intentioned course of action led to an unsatisfactory year 
of service for RYE Feb 96. 

 

The applicant acknowledges that he is aware of his correct 
Retention/Retirement Year anniversary date and has been on a 
steady course of satisfactory participation since the misstep in 
Feb 96. 

 

The complete ARPC/DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C.

(Exhibit D).

existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to

Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that for

points resulting in 50 total retirement points; and, this period 
was a year of satisfactory Federal service.
