RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-01787
		
JASON C T CAMPBELL			COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be released of an erroneous debt in the amount of $3,200.99 caused by a negative leave balance at the time of separation.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was charged twice for two separate leave periods.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s military records indicate that he served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of master sergeant (E-7) during the matter under review.  

On 28 October 2013 and 10 September 2013, according to the applicant’s Master Pay Account (MMPA), he was charged 14 days leave for the period of 26 March 2013 through 8 April 2013, under authorization number KA22088.  

On 28 October 2013 and 10 September 2013, according to the applicant’s MMPA, he was charged 14 days leave for the period 15 June 2013 through 28 June 2013, under authorization number KA21795.  

On 1 November 2013, the applicant retired from the Air Force and was credited with 24 years and 11 days of total active service. 

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 included at Exhibits C.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval.  The applicant’s MMPA reflects that there were errors which caused the applicant to be charged twice for two separate leave periods.  The applicant has sufficient documentation that clearly states these days were erroneously updated and charged during the wrong FY.  His debt in the amount of $3,200.99 should be released since there was an error which caused him to lose 28 days of leave.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 30 September 2014 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  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 was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an injustice.  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 relief should be granted.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as indicated below.  


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that upon his retirement, effective 1 November 2013, no debt was established to reimburse the United States for 28 days of leave in the amount of $3,200.99.
