RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01187 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He receive pay, points, and benefits for seven additional days of mobilization under Partial Mobilization Order Number Z5V7RR, dated 9 Apr 14, covering the period 15 Apr 14 through 7 Dec 14 in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Due to transportation delays in theater, he did not return to his home station on the date he was scheduled. He arrived home on 9 Nov 14, and should have had his orders extended by seven additional days through 14 Dec 14 to allow him to take the all of the leave he earned. The Manpower MPA Man-day Management System was never updated to credit him with the additional day of service. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served on active duty in the Alabama Air National Guard during the matter under review. Under Partial Mobilization Order Number Z5V7RR, dated 9 Apr 14, the applicant was mobilized in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM during the period 15 Apr 14 through 7 Dec 14. According to the documentation provided by the applicant he arrived back home after his Operation ENDURING FREEDOM deployment on 9 Nov 14. In accordance with the Air Combat Command (ACC) Post-Deployment Downtime (PDSDT) Guidance Memorandum, dated 12 Apr 11, for deployments over 90 days, commanders may provide four compensatory days and not more than 10 days of unscheduled time to tend to personal and professional matters (14 days total) deferred while deployed, and the post-deployment downtime will start as soon as possible following return to home station, not to exceed 72 hours after return. On 12 Dec 14, the applicant was issued a honorable discharge, with a narrative reason for separation of “release due to demobilization,” and was credited with 7 months and 28 days of net active service this period. 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: NGB/A1PR recommends granting the applicant four days of relief rather than the seven days he requested, indicating there is evidence of an error or an injustice. According to the ACC PDSDT Memorandum, dated 12 Apr 11, the applicant was entitled to 14 days of PDSDT immediately following his return from deployment in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. According to the member-filed travel voucher, the member arrived back at his residence from deployment on 9 Nov 14. The member’s PDSDT began on 10 Nov 14 and ended on 23 Nov 14. According with the leave accrual procedures in AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, the applicant accrued 18 days of leave during his active duty deployment. His leave period began on 24 Nov 14 and should have ended on 11 Dec 14. However, the applicant’s original order end date of 7 Dec 14 did not provide enough days for him to take all of the 18 days of accrued leave. According to the applicant’s unit, the member was not in a military status after his original order end date of 7 Dec 14 through 11 Dec 14. Recommend granting the applicant’s request, but granting him four days of relief instead of the one day he requested. A complete copy of the NGB/A1PR 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 16 Feb 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. THE BOARD CONCLUDES: 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 in judging the merits of the case. While the Board acknowledges the recommendation of NGB/A1PR to grant the applicant’s request because they believe his orders did not provide enough time for him to take all of his accrued leave, the Board notes the applicant’s master leave record as of the date his deployment orders ended indicate he used every day of his earned leave. Therefore, the Board believes the applicant was afforded the opportunity to exhaust both his accrued leave and PDSDT prior to the completion date of his active duty tour, thereby negating the need to extend his mobilization order. As such, the applicant was credited with the appropriate pay, points, and benefits he earned during this period of active duty service. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. THE BOARD DETERMINES: 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. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-01187 in Executive Session on 21 Apr 16 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 15 Mar 15, w/atchs.
