AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PF recommends denial. After reviewing the applicant’s 
records for ACP eligibility, A1PF concluded that he was not 
eligible for the time period requested. The applicant was 
initially on orders from 1 Oct 10 to 19 Dec 10 and did not have 
orders that included a full year of duty until the special order 
dated 12 Apr 11 was published. Furthermore, USC Title 37, 


section 301b, requires the member to agree in advance, in 
writing, to remain on active duty, in aviation service for at 
least one year. Additionally, in accordance with the FY11 ANG 
ACP Policy, “Because of the inconsistent funding schedule for 
these programs, members who are on AGR Occasional Tours…Active 
Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) days must have an 
order/orders in handthat cover the minimum agreement period 
prior to agreement approval.” It is also stated, “No agreements 
will be authorized or payments made for retroactive periods due 
to compiling multiple orders.”

The complete NGB/A1PFevaluation is at Exhibit B.

NGB/A1PS recommends denial. A1PS agrees with the subject matter 
expert in denying the applicant’s request for ACP.
