RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00745
			COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The break in service between his separation from active duty and 
his date of appointment into the Air Force Reserve be eliminated.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was accepted into the Judge Advocate General Corps in May 2013, 
however, the delay was administrative and outside of his control.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and 
ARPC IMT 92, Appointment Order.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, he served on active duty 
from 11 January 2009 to 18 July 2013.  His narrative reason for 
separation is “Completion of Required Active Service.”

According to Reserve Order PC-00019 dated 9 October 2014, the 
applicant’s appointment to the Air Force Reserve was approved by 
the Secretary of Defense on 26 August 2013.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPA recommends approval.  The break in service was through no 
fault of the applicant.  Due to a delay in processing of the 
5 July 2013 scroll at the Secretary of Defense level, the 
applicant incurred a break in service between his date of 
separation and appointment date into the Air Force Reserve.

The complete DPA evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 4 April 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
C).


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 an error or injustice warranting relief.  Having 
carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the 
recommendation of the Air Force office or primary responsibility 
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision 
that the applicant has been the victim of either an error or an 
injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be 
corrected as set forth 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 was not 
discharged on 18 July 2013, but on that date, he was continued on 
active duty until 25 August 2013, on which date he was released 
from active duty.
