AIR FORCE EVALUATION

ARPC/DPTS recommends denying the application. Based on the documentation provided by the applicant and analysis of the facts, there is no evidence of an error or injustice. The requested retirement points for the applicant’s professional military education (PME) and fitness test are both accurately reflected in the applicant’s Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) Point Credit Accounting and Reporting System (PCARS) record. In order to update points for RMP days or any additional missing points, we recommend that the applicant submit additional source documents, to include any of the following: signed certified orders, 40As, 105s, Leave and Earning Statements (LESs), DD Form 214s, certificates with transcripts, Unit Training Assembly Processing System (UTAPS) calendar, or Admissions Liaison Officer (ALO) Web Point Credit Report, etc., to our office. Once this office has proof of any additional points performed, we can update the applicant’s point history summary appropriately.
