RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2017-02922

						COUNSEL:  

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Eighteen (18) days of leave be restored to his leave account.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Leave was lost as a result of multiple adjustments related to a permanent change of station (PCS).

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of major.

For more information, see the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends approval, indicating the applicant provided sufficient evidence of the PCS timeframe and was charged leave during travel, which the applicant did not take.  If the leave had not been taken from his leave account, the applicant would not have been charged leave during his PCS travel.  Therefore, he would have been aware of the use-or-lose balance before the end of FY16.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2SSM 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 7 September 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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an injustice.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the OPR; and adopt its rationale, as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an injustice.  Therefore, we recommend his record be corrected as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to restore eighteen (18) days of lost leave to his current leave balance.
