He requests the eligibility to transfer this benefit to assist his dependents with their college tuition. The applicant submits no supporting documentation. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant retired from the Air Force on 1 November 2007 in the grade of master sergeant. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial since the applicant retired prior to the effective date of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. There has been no injustice to the extent the member did not receive adequate counseling as required by law. The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 26 November 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no response. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of this case; however, we find insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to warrant corrective action. Most notably, that the program was not in effect at the time of the applicant’s retirement. Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-04900 in Executive Session on 2 July 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
