RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01834 

 

 COUNSEL: NO 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her one day of erroneously charged leave be reinstated. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Pursuant to Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1327.06, Leave and Liberty Policy and Procedures, the day of return shall 
not be charged as a day of leave when it ends on a non-duty day. 
For leave granted for 17 and 18 December 2010, only 18 December 
was chargeable leave since it ended on a non-duty day. AFI 36-
3003, Military Leave Program, has been updated to reflect DOD 
policy. 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her 
leave request and e-mail correspondence from AFPC/DPSIMC. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of Captain (O-3). 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this appeal are 
contained in the advisory opinion from the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. AFI 36-3003 was revised to 
correct the discrepancy between the DODI and the AFI. However, 
AF/JAA has opined the prior version of AFI 36-3003 was lawful in 
spite of its inconsistency with DoDI. Many members made leave 
plans based on the rules in effect at the time in or to make the 
best use of their leave. An adjustment would have to justify 


 

the member’s past intent to determine how past plans would have 
changed under different leave rules. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 17 June 2011, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no 
response. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

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; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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 
the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
