	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Ten (10) days of lost leave be restored.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He filled a one-deep, six-month duty rotation in the Drug Demand Reduction facility; however, due to manning changes, he was unable to take leave.  

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of technical sergeant.  For more information, see the advisory at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SSM recommends denying the application.  The applicant failed to provide supporting documentation from his commander or supervisor, stating leave was not authorized while in the Drug Demand Reduction position.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 12 Mar 18 for comment (Exhibit C), 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, the Board concludes the applicant is not 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 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.
