RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02003 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1. Her Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) service dates be updated as active duty retirement credit days for the period 16 Sep 93 through 13 Apr 99. 2. Her pay grade be amended to reflect O3E rather than O3. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She should receive active duty/retirement credit for all her active duty and Inactive Duty Training (IDT) days she completed while assigned as an IMA. She held the pay grade of O3E the last six years of her military career. She never received an official copy of her DD Form 214. The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is a former Air Force Reserve member who retired on 1 Oct 10. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFRC/A1K recommends disapproval of the portion of the applicant’s request regarding receiving credit for man and IDT days, while assigned as an IMA. The applicant has not provided any supporting documentation, such as Military or Reserve Personnel Appropriation orders or IDT training documentation to substantiate her claim. Without official documentation it cannot be determined if any points should be credited towards her retirement. Notwithstanding the above, AFRC/A1K has confirmed the applicant did hold the pay grade of O3E/Captain from 11 Oct 02 through 30 Sep 10. As for her request for a copy of her DD Form 214, AFRC/A1K forwarded a copy of the requested document to the applicant. A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 25 Jun 12, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting correction of the applicant’s record to credit her with additional active and inactive service. Other than her own uncorroborated assertions, the applicant has not provided any evidence that would indicate that she was not appropriately credited for the service she performed while she served in the individual mobilization augmentee (IMA) program. Therefore, in the absence of such evidence, we find no basis to recommend granting this aspect of the applicant’s request. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting a change in the applicant’s pay grade. In this respect, we note the comments of the Air Force office of primary responsibility indicating the applicant held the noted pay grade from 11 Oct 02 through 30 Sep 10. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that she held the pay grade of O3E from 11 Oct 02 through 30 Sep 10. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-02003 in Executive Session on 20 Feb 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member All members voted to correct the records as recommended.
