RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2015-00891
				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be reimbursed for the 12 days of leave he lost in 2014.  The 
Air Force OPR translates this request to mean the applicant is 
asking for the 12 days of leave to be restored to his leave 
account.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was unable to take leave due to mission requirements.  Due to 
his duties with the Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT), he 
was unable to take leave from July through September 2014.  He 
was on temporary duty (TDY) for 45 days in 2014, and he could 
not take leave in June 2014 because he took over as Flight 
Commander because the Flight Commander had a permanent change of 
station (PCS) and orientation.   

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Major.

By memorandum, the applicant’s commander states the applicant was 
unable to take leave due to his duties as a member of the CCATT. 
Due to shortfalls within the unit the applicant was made the 
Flight Commander on short notice.  The commander further noted 
the applicant was TDY for 45 days in 2014 and requests the 
applicant’s 12 days of leave be restored.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the 
Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.





AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIMC recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence 
of an error or an injustice as the applicant does not qualify 
for special leave accrual.  He did not account for the time 
between 1 Oct 13 and 1 Jun 14 when leave could have been 
managed.  Furthermore, AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, 
states Wing/CC or Wing/CV will recommend approval for SLA 
packages requiring Board approval.  Wing/CC or CV approval was 
not provided.

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


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant resubmitted his commander’s letter supporting 
restoral of his leave (Exhibit D).  


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 the 
rebuttal, in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) 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.


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.
