	HEARING REQUESTED: NO
 
APPLICANT’S REQUEST

His Air National Guard (ANG) Point Credit Summary (PCARS) be corrected to reflect duty performed.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

He completed enough points between 7 Aug 15 and 6 Aug 16 to be credited for a satisfactory year.  He has identified the duty dates that are missing from his PCARS, and submitted the corresponding lodging receipts from base lodging on Beale AFB, CA, and missing ANG Form 105S, Individual Duty Authorization/Certification Form).  He states the forms were signed, but never updated in PCARS resulting in him not receiving the points required for a satisfactory retirement year.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is an ANG technical sergeant (E-6).

On 14 Oct 07, according to DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States, the applicant entered the ANG.

According to PCARS provided by ARPC/DPTS, the applicant was credited with 42 points for the period of 7 Aug 15 through 6 Aug 16.

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.  The applicant submitted incomplete forms used at his local unit to request rescheduled Unit Training Assembly (UTA) days, and various receipts reflecting utilized hotels located at his duty station.  However, the applicant did not provide an ANG Form 105S, which is used to certify participation on the dates, and subsequently did not earn the minimum of 50 points during the R/R year to be credited with a satisfactory year towards retirement.  

The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 12 Aug 21 for comment (Exhibit D), 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.
