RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04371 

 

 COUNSEL: NO 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His 26.5 days of lost leave be restored. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

During the past year, he was not allowed to take leave due to 
constant deployments. During the short periods he was home, he 
was expected to be in training for his next deployment. The Air 
Mobility Command’s (AMC) policy guidance was to not allow leave 
except in cases of emergencies. He had 2 weeks of leave 
cancelled and was denied an additional 3 weeks of leave. He 
believes being denied leave without recourse is an injustice. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits his Leave and 
Earnings Statement and an e-mail regarding AMC guidance. 

 

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).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. AFI 36-3003, Military Leave 
Program, states in part the member’s application must clearly 
establish that an error or injustice by the Air Force caused the 
member’s lost leave. DPSIM requested additional information 
from the applicant to support his claim. Specifically, they 
requested a letter from the applicant’s unit commander 
addressing his inability to take leave due to mission 


requirements along with temporary duty or deployment orders. 
The applicant did not submit the requested information. 

 

The complete DPSIM 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 10 February 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 has 
not clearly established that he has 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.
