RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00475 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1.  His discharge from the Air Force Reserve (AFRES) be declared void and removed from his record and he be reinstated into the Standby Reserve. 2.  By amendment, in the alternative, transfer him to the Retired Reserve. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He should be allowed to remain in the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) until he attains the age of 60. When he was commissioned the rules allowed him to stay in the Standby Reserve until age 60 unless he resigned his commission. On 30 Sep 14, he received an ARPC Form 69, Annual Air Force Reserve Screening, which continued his service, but then he was involuntarily discharged without notice. Apparently, the computer simply dropped him from the rolls of the Air Force. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 21 Mar 95. On 21 Mar 99, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with four years and one day of active service, and was reassigned to the Obligated Reserve Section until the completion of his military service obligation on 19 Dec 02. On 19 Dec 02, the applicant was transferred to the Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Reserve Section (NNRPS). Under Reserve Order HB-001663, dated 28 Dec 04, the applicant was transferred to ISLRS, effective 19 Dec 04. Under Reserve Order CJ-001124, dated 5 Nov 14, the applicant was discharged from ISLRS, effective 30 Sep 14. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTT recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. AFI 36-3209, Separation and Retirement Procedures for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Members, states “Discharge officer assigned to ISLRS who are assigned for three years and the officers meet any of these criteria: They are ineligible for transfer to the Ready Reserve, or are eligible, but fail to apply.” The applicant remained in ISLRS longer than the required 3 years and is not eligible for a Reserve retirement since he does not have 20 years of satisfactory service for retirement. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: In further support of his initial request, he submitted a statement reiterating that when he was commissioned he was told he could remain in the Standby Reserve until age 60. In addition, he alleges his discharge was illegally backdated. He received orders dated 5 Nov 14 and a DD Form 256, Honorable Discharge Certificate, indicating he had been discharged effective 30 Sep 14. He would have attained 20 years of service on 21 Mar 15. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2.  The application was timely filed. 3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission, to include his rebuttal response to the advisory opinion, in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of ARPC/DPTT and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. 4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
