RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00330
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His NGB Form 66, Extension of Enlistment in the Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force, reflect a 90-day extension rather than a 60-day extension.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The NGB Form 66 should reflect a 90-day extension as a 60-day extension was not authorized.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard in the grade of technical sergeant.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends the 60-day extension be replaced with a six month or 180-day extension.  A1PP states they support the applicant’s claim insofar as his 60-day extension was not authorized.  .

ANGI 36-2002, Table 4.2 titled, “Terms of Extension to Enlistment,” identifies extension requirements for service members.  Rules two and three outline the requirements for said extensions.  Note two states, “Member may extend ANG enlistment for a period of at least 6 months to coincide with the MSO.” Note three expands this requirement by noting, “No extensions may be executed for a period of less than 6 months.” 

The records need to be corrected to meet the requirements outlined in ANGI 36-2002.  This will result in the applicant extending for a minimum of six months.  NGB/A1PP contacted the applicant’s unit and was informed they will extend his enlistment for six months and remove his 60-day extension as it was erroneous.

The complete NGB/A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 15 September 2014, a copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit C).  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 is timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  In this respect, the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) has indicated the applicant’s records should be corrected to meet the requirements outlined in the ANGI 36-2002 which will result in his enlistment executed on 24 January 2002 be extended for a minimum of six months.  We note the applicant has concurred with the recommended relief.  Therefore, we are in agreement with the OPR’s recommendation and recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he executed an extension of his 24 January 2002 enlistment for a period of six (6) months rather than two (2) months.
