RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05545 COUNSEL: NONE INDICATED HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His ten-year Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC) for Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) be declared void. His records be corrected to reflect he is eligible to participate in the Air National Guard (ANG) Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) program for fiscal year 2013 (FY13). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His records erroneously indicate he incurred a ten-year ADSC upon completion of UPT. As a result, he is ineligible to receive the FY13 ACP. However, there is no supporting documentation or signed contract between parties reflecting the veracity of the alleged UPT related service obligation. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the grade of captain (0-3). On 20 Jan 06, a DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States, was initiated to accept the applicant for enlistment into a guarantee UPT program. On 27 Feb 06, the applicant was ordered to active duty for an officer basic military training pre-commissioning course and released from active duty on 17 May 06, upon completion. On 14 Jun 06, according to the applicant’s aeronautical orders, he commenced Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT). In accordance with Air Force Reserve Command Instruction (AFRCI) 36-2102, Air Force Reserve Service Commitment Date Program, a 10-year UPT commitment is incurred by all pilot trainees. Furthermore, non-prior service members are not required to sign a contract for training. On 16 Sep 13, the applicant signed a FY13 Reserve AGR Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) Agreement, indicating he understood the effective date of the agreement was with a tour service commitment of 18 months. On 16 Sep 13, the agreement was approved by competent authority authorizing the applicant a payment of $15,000 per year. According to ARPC/DPAA, based on information from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS), the applicant incurred a UPT commitment until 20 Jan 16. As such, an FY 13 ACP could not be approved for payment. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPAA recommends denial. The applicant has a legitimate Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) commitment and therefore ineligible for the FY13 ACP program. The applicant contends he never signed a service commitment agreement upon entry to initial pilot training. However, in accordance with AFRCI 36-2102, the applicant incurred a UPT commitment until 20 Jan 16. The FY13 ACP program implementation instructions included a criterion that in order to be eligible for the award of the bonus, the member must have completed their initial Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) service commitment. The UFT commitment is the commitment incurred by all aviators regardless of crew position and UPT is the commitment incurred specifically by pilots.
