RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS. IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01217 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Partial Mobilization (PM) orders for the period of 8 April 2014 to 13 December 2014 be extended to 14 December 2014. He receive pay, points and benefits for the additional day. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: According to the calculation, his orders should end on 14 December 2014. He requests his Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System (PCARS) record be updated to reflect the time lost. Due to travel delays departing the deployed location, he arrived home on 10 November 2014. He was told by NGB that the MPA days could not be amended since the request was made after the original PM message end date. He was instructed to submit an application to the Board to request his active duty tour be extended from 13 December 2014 to 14 December 2014. In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his travel voucher, PM Order Number Z5V7T6 dated 8 January 2015, and Contingency Exercise Deployment (CED) Order Number TE-0023 dated 5 April 2014. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently in the Air National Guard in the grade of Master Sergeant (MSgt, E-7). Per NGB Order Number Z5V7T6 dated 8 January 2015, the applicant’s PM order in support of Operating ENDURING FREEDOM under 10 U.S.C. § 12302 was from 8 April 2014 to 13 December 2014. The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflects he entered this period of active duty on 8 April 2014 and was honorably released from active duty on 13 December 2014 with a narrative reason for separation of “Release due to demobilization.” Item 18, Remarks, states “Member on AD in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Activation Partial Mobilization In Accordance With (IAW) 10 U.S.C. 12302 at CLASSIFIED LOCATION from 24 April 2014 to 8 November 2014.” The applicant’s PCARS record reflects he was credited with active duty service from 8 April 2014 to 13 December 2014. According to AFI 36-3003 Military Leave Program, paragraph 4.4.1, Members accrue 2.5 days leave for each month of active duty. In accordance with the Air Combat Command (ACC) Post-Deployment Downtime Guidance Memorandum, dated 12 April 2011, 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 Stand Down Time (PDSDT) will start as soon as possible following return to home station, not to exceed 72 hours after return. 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 denial. The applicant was on orders long enough to take all 14 days of his PDSDT and accrued leave plus an additional one day. His last day of orders should have been 12 December 2014. One purpose of a mobilization message is to provide a window of time during which members are ordered to service in support of the mobilization. Based on specific mobilization requirements outlined in the Deliberate Crisis Action Planning and Execution System (DCAPES), the actual dates of the mobilization will fall within the window of the mobilization message. Once the days are allocated to the ANG, the orders can be published. It is important to note the allocation and order will not automatically be for the entire time on the mobilization message as it is based on the requirements for each person/position. The applicant arrived at his residence on 10 November 2014. Upon his return, he was entitled to 14 days PDSDT per the ACC PDSDT Guidance Memorandum. The PDSDT began on 11 November 2014 and ended on 24 November 2014. Because the applicant is entitled to PDSDT, he is not authorized two days in-processing per AFI 36-2619, Military Personnel Appropriation Manday Program. Additionally, AFI 36-2619, paragraph 3.3.2, states “Leave is calculated based on the mission start and end date. It is not earned during authorized down time.” Per AFI 36-3002, the applicant earned 18 days of leave for his period of active duty. His PM orders ending on 13 December 2014 was one day longer than the applicant should have been on orders. Therefore, the applicant used all 14 days of PDSDT and accrued leave. No recoupment for the additional day on orders should be sought should the Board elect to deny the request. 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 18 February 2016 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. 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; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force 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.
