 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be made eligible for the Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11) Aviator 
Continuation Pay (ACP) Program. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was eligible to receive ACP effective 27 October 2010. Due 
to the delays in a resolution of the FY11 federal budget, the 
FY11 ACP policy was released on 23 February 2011. As stated in 
the ACP guidelines, his eligibility date rendered him ineligible 
to complete an entire period of agreement under the policy as 
released. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of the 
Air National Guard (ANG) FY2011 ACP Program Announcement and 
Implementation, his ACP Statement of Understanding, his 
Aeronautical Order Aviation Service Record, AF Form 475, Education Training Report, and his active duty Special Orders. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard in 
the grade of major (O-4). 

 

On 27 October 2010, the applicant signed a FY11 Navigator and 
Combat Operator ACP Statement of Understanding indicating he 
understood the effective date of the agreement was 27 October 
2010. On 6 September 2011, the agreement was approved by the 
approval authority.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PF recommends denial. According to the FY11 ANG ACP 
Policy, in order for a member to be eligible to apply, 
Navigators and Combat System Operators (CSO) must have served at 
least 10 years since the completion of Undergraduate Navigator 
Training (UNT) or CSO training. The applicant graduated on 
21 March 2002, making his initial date of eligibility 21 March 
2012. The applicant is ineligible and should not be permitted 
to request, execute or be paid for a FY 2011 ACP agreement. 

 

The complete A1PF evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 March 2012 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 was 
ineligible for the Aviator Continuation Pay Program during 
Fiscal Year 2011. 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 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
