	HEARING REQUESTED: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

His ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary for the period 4 Dec 79 through 23 Oct 80 be corrected to award him 365 points instead of 325 points.  

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

His Point Credit Summary for the period 4 Dec 1979 through 23 Oct 80, only credited him with 325 points rather than 365.  He believes the missing points (40) were a result of his transition from regular active duty (enlisted) to an Air Force Reserve (officer).  He was on active duty while attending Officer Training School with no break in service.   

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, dated 25 Feb 81, shows the applicant was released from active duty on 23 Oct 80 to accept a commission in the Air Force Reserve. 

DD Form 214, dated 2 Apr 98, shows the applicant entered the Air Force Reserve 24 Oct 80

AF Form 526, ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, dated 2 Jan 17, shows the applicant received 325 active duty points for the period 4 Dec 79 thru 23 Oct 80 and 365 active duty points for the period 24 Oct 80 thru 23 Oct 81.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION

ARPC/DPTS recommends denying the application.  The applicant received the correct credit for a partial year of service between 4 Dec 79 and 23 Oct 80.    During this period, the applicant earned 325 active duty points and 10 months, 20 days of satisfactory service in the active duty Air Force and then transferred to Air Force Reserves which reset his anniversary (R/R) date.  DoDI 1215.07, Enclosure 3, states, “Active service will be credited at the rate of one retirement point per day of active service...”  The applicant served 325 days of active duty between 4 Dec 79 and 23 Oct 80, earning 325 active duty points.  To change the applicant’s satisfactory service would be contrary to DoDI 1215.07.

The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 2 Jul 20 for comment (Exhibit C), but has received no response.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.
