SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Records (DD Form 149)
1. Applicant has submitted a request for correction of military records in regards to his self-
initiated elimination (SIE) from T-4 1 training while attending the United States Air Force
Academy (USAFA).

2. Applicant believes a situation beyond his control lead to his self-initiated elimination from the
T-4 1 pilot indoctrination program while attending USAFA.
3. Applicant was enrolled in the T-41 class 95-05 at USAFA during his third summer training
period (summer 94) prior to his first class year (senior). Applicant flew his first sortie on 19 Jul
94 followed by four sorties on: 20 Jul, 21 Jul, 22 Jul and 26 Jwl. This is reflected by the ATC
Form 860 in the applicant’s attached T-41 records. The applicant’s progress was above average
to that point. The first documented indication of the applicant’s desire to a SIE from T-41
training came 27 Jul94, as evidenced by the ATC 803A in the applicant’s attached T-41 records.
In the 803A dated 27 Jul94, the applicant’s flight commander wrote, “(Applicant) has stated a
desire to SIE. (Applicant) is dealing with many issues right now with the death of his friend,
issues with his family, and his own future goals in life. We discussed his situation in-depth and
he seems to be making a logical, well thought-out decision. Performance to this point has been
strong and attitude is excellent.” On 29 Jul94, the applicant was counseled by the 557 FTS
squadron commander and operations officer. An ATC Form 126A dated 29 Jul94 was signed by
the applicant, the 557 FTS squadron commander, and operations officer. The applicant also
signed on 29 Jul94 a letter of declination of Undergraduate FIying Training (UFT), where it was
clearly spelled out that if the applicant was an SIE he would be ineligible to apply for UFT in the
fbture. The applicant’s T-41 records were faxed to the 12th Operations Group at Randolph AFB,
TX for review, and the operations group commander, the elimi
he applicant was then classified as

4. The summer of 1994 was the last time screening was conducted using the T-41. Fall 94 was
used as the transition period to a new aircraft, the T-3A Firefly, and student screening resumed
the spring of 1995 using the T-3A for screening cadets. The applicant signed a letter of
declination of Undergraduate Flying Training on 29 Jul94. Air Force Instruction 36-2205,
figure 1.1 clearly states that those eliminated for self-initiated elimination (SIE) are ineligible for
further flying training. .The applicant’s SIE records were typical for that time frame and no major
discrepancies were noted.
5. Recommendation: Remove the declination of U
29 Jul94 and ATC Form 126A dated 29 Jul94 from
training record. The circumstances behind
elimination from the T-41 program was driven by the eath of his friend in an automobile
accident. I feel there is sufficient justification to remove these documents from-
record and that this course of action is in the best interest of the Air Force
case indicate his self-initiated v

On the applicant’s Commander’s Review Record it clearly states the student should be disenrolled from training and should not be considered for reinstatement at a later date. When he applied for Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) in 1995, he stated on the AF 215 and he informed his chain of command that he had been eliminated from the T-41 in 1994. The majority also does not understand the applicant’s failure to wear his glasses while in training which was clearly not the fault of the Air Force.

SGPS supports the applicant’s request to have his records corrected to show elimination based on a medical diagnoses rather than SIE. However, if the Board’s decision is to grant the applicant’s request, his record may be changed to show elimination from JSUNT as a medical disqualification. We note that HQ AETC/SGPS (Exhibit B) supports the applicant’s request for correction of his record and the opportunity for him to apply for Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) consideration.

At the time of her elimination, there was a policy allowing up to 6 months in Medical Hold before students would be considered for elimination. Then following the 3-month Medical Hold, the Flight Surgeon...
