RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04666 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His 3 year and 25 month reenlistment be changed to a 5 year reenlistment and his entitlement to a Zone B, Multiple 7.0, Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for three years, be changed to 5 years. ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His records are incorrect because the incentive for staying in the Air Force was the bonus. He was led to believe that he would receive the bonus for a five year enlistment. He was told that the extension would be cancelled if he reenlisted within 30 days upon graduating from Technical School. However, the extension was never cancelled; therefore, he only received the SRB for three years. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of reenlistment documents. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ _ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 2 May 2006 for six years establishing his Date of Separation (DOS) as 1 May 2012. He extended his DOS for 14 months for approved retraining into the “6C0X1-Contracting career field on 30 September 2011. He received a permanent change of station (PCS) in the Contracting career field and extended 16 months on 14 March 2012 to obtain retainability for the PCS. His Class Graduation Date (CGD) from training was 5 September 2012 and he arrived at his new duty station on 26 October 2012. He reenlisted on 27 September 2012 for 3 years and 25 months with entitlement to a Zone B SRB for three years; the 25 months was obligated service from his two extensions which could not be cancelled. The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s master personnel records, are contained in the evaluation by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ _ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant contends he could cancel his extension within 30 days of CGD for the purpose of immediate reenlistment; however, Air Force Instruction 36-2606, paragraph 5.3 indicates retrainees may request cancellation of an extension obtained for retraining that has not been entered contingent upon immediate reenlistment. Therefore, his 16-month extension for PCS executed on 14 March 2012 could not be cancelled because it was not for retraining. Additionally, paragraph 5.3 clearly states retrainees “may request cancellation of an extension obtained for retraining that has not been entered. The applicant was not eligible to cancel his retraining extension for immediate reenlistment, because he had already entered the extension when he graduated technical training on 5 September 2012. Per paragraph 5.3.1.5, extensions obtained for retraining that have been entered will not be forgiven and will be considered as obligated service. The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation, with attachments, 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 March 2014, for review and comment within 30 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 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.
