RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-03045

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: YES

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His date entered Reserve service be changed from 1 May 2012 to 
1 October 2011.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was accepted into the Reserves on 1 October 2011 and 
completed both his annual training and inactive duty training 
(IDT) during the month of January 2012.  When he tried to file a 
travel voucher to get paid for the IDT days, he did not have 
access to the required computer systems.  The reason he lost 
access was AFRC had changed him from the position at his gaining 
unit at Davis-Monthan AFB to a centrally managed position at 
Buckley AFB because they required a waiver because he was twice 
deferred for promotion.  This happened after AFRC had already 
accepted him into the Reserves and allowed him to complete his 
annual training.  

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in 
the grade of Captain, 0-3.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/A1K recommends the applicant's military records be 
corrected to reflect that he was assigned to the Air Force 
Reserves effective 1 October 2011 as indicated on appointment 
order PC-00037.  

The applicant requested assignment into the Air Force Reserve on 
20 May 2011 as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA).  The 
applicant’s request for Reserve Commission was approved by the 
Secretary of Defense and as such, he was appointed on 1 October 
2011.  In accordance with (IAW) Air Force Instruction 36-2115, 
Assignments Within Air Force Components, twice deferred officers 
separating from active duty may request unit or IMA assignment 
by submitting a request for a waiver.  This action was not 
initiated until 7 March 2012 due to an administrative oversight 
and was ultimately approved on 1 May 2012, thus establishing the 
current effective date of change of strength accountability 
(EDSCA).  

The complete AFRC/A1K 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 30 August 2012 for review and comment within 30 
days (Exhibit C).  To date, this office has not received a 
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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
relief.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission 
in judging the merits of the case and 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 been the victim of an error or injustice.  
Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to 
the extent indicated below.

4.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) 
involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to reflect an Effective 
Date of Change of Strength Accountability (EDCSA) of 
1 October 2011.
