RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 


IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02785 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

He receive a reduced retirement of an additional 180 days toreduce his retirement age. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

He was only credited with two 90-day reserve retirement 
reductions. He performed 405 qualifying days. He feels it is 
unjust to perform the same amount of duty as another airman andonly receive 180 days credit, while others receive 360 dayscredit by manipulating the days. 

In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a summary ofqualifying Title 10 orders. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is atExhibit A. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force Reserves. He 
was transferred to the Retired Reserves on 1 June 2011 in the 
grade of colonel. 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application arecontained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office ofthe Air Force which is located at Exhibit C. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

ARPC/DPPT recommends denial. The applicant is requesting thathis cumulative total qualifying active duty, served to reducehis Reserve retired pay age, be used to calculate his reducedretired pay age without the fiscal year (FY) restriction. 


The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2008 amendedTitle 10, U.S.C. Section 12731 to allow members to reduce theirretired pay age of 60 by 3 months for each aggregate of 90 days 
of qualifying active duty service fiscal year. Qualifyingactive duty service includes a call or order to active dutyserved after 2008, for the purpose of responding to a nationalemergency declared by the President or supported by federalfunds. 

A review of the applicant’s record shows he turns 60 on 14 March2019 and would normally be entitled to draw Reserve retired payon that date. However, his record shows that he has qualifyingactive duty to reduce his retired pay age since he served on 
qualifying active duty. 

The applicant did not have an aggregate of 90 days of qualifyingservice in FY2008. He has two qualifying 90 day periods, one inFY2010 and one in FY2011 for a total of 6 months to be 
subtracted from the date of his 60th birthday. His early retiredpay date is 14 September 2018. The applicant thinks his 
qualifying active duty days should be combined rather thanseparating them by fiscal year giving him a reduced retired payage of 14 March 2018. 

The complete DPPT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C. 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 30 August 2012, for review and comment within30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received 
no response. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided byexisting law or regulations. 
2. The application was timely filed. 
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The 
applicant's submission was thoroughly reviewed and his 
contentions were duly noted. However, evidence has not beenpresented which would lead us to believe that he is entitled tothe relief he seeks. Therefore, we agree with the opinion andrecommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibilityand adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion and find 
2 



that the applicant has not been the victim of an error orinjustice. Therefore, based on the evidence of record, we findno basis upon which to favorably consider this application.

submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not consideredwith this application.
