RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2018-00058

XXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE	

	HEARING: NOT INDICATED	

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her total active duty service time served in the Guard, and Reserve be recalculated.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her service credit was based solely on her active duty Air Force time and did not take into consideration the 17 years and 8 months she served on Title 10 orders in the Missouri and Illinois Air National Guard (ANG), and the Illinois Reserves.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former Air Force Reservist who retired on 8 Jan 16 in the grade of master 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 recommends denying the application.  They conducted a review of the applicant's records and the source documents provided and there is nothing to support her request for an amendment of the Air Force Form 1613, Statement of Service. After reviewing the applicant's Statement of Service and comparing it back to her AF Forms 526, Point Credit Summary, they found no discrepancies in the dates listed. To clarify what dates are captured on the Statement of Service, they reviewed the Type of Duty codes listed on the point summaries. These codes are for active duty, special tour, school tour, annual tour, and extended active duty. Traditional drill weekends are coded as a paid inactive duty which is not traditionally "listed" like active duty is captured on the Statement of Service. An  error or injustice in the applicant’s military record does not exist,  nor did she provide evidence to reflect an error or injustice. 

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 21 Jun 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 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.  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.
