RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NO: 01-01915
INDEX CODE 110.02
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
Applicant requests that her separation in 1995 under the Special
Separation Benefits (SSB) Program be changed to the Voluntary
Separation Incentive (VSI) Program, and that her benefits under the
Montgomery GI Bill be extended beyond the 10-year time frame to 2015.
Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and
provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application
be denied (Exhibit C). Further, HQ AFPC/DPPAT advised the applicant by
letter dated 17 Sep 01 (Exhibit C) to contact the Department of
Veterans Affairs (DVA) about extending her GI benefits. The advisory
opinion was forwarded to the applicant for review and response
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no response.
After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or
injustice to warrant corrective action with regard to her request for
a VSI separation. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory
opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been
rebutted by applicant. Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied
rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed,
or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb
the existing record. The applicant has been advised by HQ AFPC/DPPAT
to contact the DVA regarding an extension of her Montgomery GI Bill
benefits, as this is an issue not coming under our jurisdiction.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will
only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence
which was not reasonably available at the time the application was
filed.
Members of the Board Mr. Jackson Hauslein, Mr. John E. B. Smith and
Mr. Thomas J. Topolski Jr. considered this application on 8 November
2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-
2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
