                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-03034

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be reimbursed for Family Servicemember’s  Group  Life  Insurance  (FSGLI)
premiums he paid for the period of 1  November  2001  through  30  September
2002.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was truly unsure of the $100,000-dollar  life  insurance  policy  on  his
spouse.  Due to the recent emails concerning this particular  item,  neither
his wife nor he wishes to add any more insurance  to  the  family’s  current
life insurance plan at this time.  He was told  by  the  Military  Personnel
Flight (MPF) personnel to request full  reimbursement  through  AFBCMR.   He
sees no need to change his current policy of 250K.  He  wants  to  apologize
for any inconvenience this may caused.

In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Air Force in the  grade
of technical sergeant.

Documents provided  by  AFPC  indicate  that  on  1  November  2001,  Family
Servicemembers’  Group  Life  Insurance  was  implemented.   Deductions  for
coverage in the amount of $100,000 continued to be taken from his pay  until
approximately September 2002.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPW, reviewed applicant’s request and states  additional  evidence  was
requested  from  the  member  to  sufficiently  evaluate  his  claim.    The
applicant has not  responded.   Due  to  the  lack  of  sufficient  evidence
provided by the applicant, denial of this request is recommended.

AFPC/DPW evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant
on 3 January 2003, for review and response.  As of this  date,  no  response
has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law  or
regulations.

2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate  the
existence of an  error  or  injustice.   After  a  thorough  review  of  the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission,  we  are  not  persuaded  the
applicant should be reimbursed  for  the  FSGLI  premiums  he  paid  from  1
November 2001 to  30  September  2002.   Applicant’s  contentions  are  duly
noted; however, we do not find  these  assertions,  in  and  by  themselves,
sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the office  of
primary responsibility.  We therefore agree with  their  recommendation  and
adopt the rationale expressed  as  the  basis  for  our  decision  that  the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden  of  having  suffered  either  an
error or an injustice.  In view of the above and absent persuasive  evidence
to the contrary, we find no  compelling  basis  to  recommend  granting  the
relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of a 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.
