RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03410 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His mobilization order be extended for five days. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was not demobilized until 1 April 2014. The additional days are required for his Post Deployment Stand Down Time (PDSDT) and leave. He has already been paid for this period but requires his orders to be amended. On 19 March 2014, an Exception to Policy (ETP) request was submitted for an extension of his Military Personnel Appropriations (MPA) tour. On 5 June 2014, he was advised by the Installation Personnel Readiness (IPR) office that his ETP request was not forwarded to the appropriate office and that no action could be taken as the deadline for submittal was 30 March 2014. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the grade of Technical Sergeant (TSgt, E-6). According to NGB Order Number 15H6MJ, dated 29 May 2013, the applicant was placed on Partial Mobilization (PM) orders in support of a contingency for the period of 5 August 2013 to 26 March 2014. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1P recommends the applicant be granted an extension of 8.5 days of chargeable leave days instead of the 5 days he requests. A1P recommends his records be corrected to reflect an extension of his mobilization tour from 26 March 2014 to 4 April 2014 and he receive compensation of military pay, points and applicable benefits. The applicant’s return from the deployed location was delayed and the IPR submitted an ETP request for the additional days. Unfortunately, the request did not flow through the system and the error was not realized until after the mobilization order ended. The ETP request could no longer be accepted and the applicant was advised he would have to submit his request for the additional days to the BCMR. During the applicant’s orders and per AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, he earned 20.5 days of regular leave. He was also granted and took 14 days for PDSDT for a total of 34.5 days. However, his orders calculated from 5 August 2013 to 26 March 2014 only afforded him 26 days. His records should be corrected for compensation of military pay, points and applicable benefits for 8.5 days (34.5 minus 26) of chargeable leave. A complete copy of the NGB/A1P evaluation is at Exhibit B. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 17 August 2015 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).
