RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-00767

							COUNSEL: NONE

							HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 10 inactive duty training (IDT) points, for 21 May 93 to 10 May 94, be included in his record (administratively corrected).  All his points from May 95 to May 96 count towards his retirement.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The 10 IDT points, for 21 May 93 to 10 May 94, were dropped from his record (administratively corrected), and all points from May 95 to May 96 were not counted.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 9 Jun 17, the applicant retired from the Air Force as a technical sergeant.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommended denying the application.

During the member’s anniversary year, 21 May 95 through 20 May 96, he accumulated 53 inactive duty, 55 extension course institute, and 15 membership points, for a total of 123 inactive duty points, which is 63 points over the retirement creditable limitation.  His request for 5,430 total points from 21 May 95 through 20 May 96 cannot be accommodated.  Retirement credit is limited to 60 IDT points for anniversary years.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 7 Mar 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions beyond that rendered administratively.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:  

The applicant be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the board.

CERTIFICATION:  

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5., considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2017-00767 in Executive Session on 24 Apr 18:
