RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-04454

	COUNSEL: NONE	

	HEARING: NO	

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His current enlistment be backdated to 12 Aug 16, which is the day he was eligible for reenlistment.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was miscounseled by his former Maintenance Superintendent and Additional Duty First Sergeant at Dannelly Field ANGB, AL.  He was informed he could not reenlist until he completed  the enlistment extension he had at that time.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is an active duty Air Force Senior Airman.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends granting the application.    The applicant was eligible to reenlist on 12 Aug 16 with a Zone A multiple 3.0 Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB), but only for 3 years and 6 months.  A 4-year enlistment was not possible due to High Year Tenure (HYT) restriction at time of his reenlistment.  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 26 Mar 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 the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2SSM and finds that a preponderance of the evidence substantiates the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends the applicant’s records 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 show that the applicant reenlisted on 12 Aug 16 for 3 years and 6 months with entitlement to a zone A multiple 3.0 SRB in the 2A353M Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) and his HYT be changed to 24 Aug 20.
