RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-01753

	COUNSEL: NONE
	
	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be granted five points to complete the required 50 points, minimal participation for a good anniversary year in fiscal year 2012 (FY12).

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His annual tour (AT) orders were cancelled due to budgetary constraints by the FY12 closeout.  He was verbally denied the ability to complete “points only” for the five points necessary for a satisfactory anniversary year.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve as a colonel.  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 recommends denying the application. The applicant received a good anniversary year for FY12 with 55 retirement points even though he only received 6 AT days. It appears the applicant may have mixed up the FYs as he does not have a good satisfactory year for FY13.   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 8 Feb 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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.  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.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed 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-2017-01753 in Executive Session on 8 May 18 and 20 Aug 18:
