RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02497
INDEX CODE: 128.14
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be enrolled in College Loan Repayment Plan (CLRP).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He entered the USAF on 2 July 2002 and began his enlistment processing
in May 2002. At the time of his enlistment processing he was not made
aware that a CLRP enrollment statement must be included with his
contract to be eligible for the program. Had he been aware that the
statement was needed, he would have included it in his contract at the
time of his enlistment.
The applicant did not submit any documents in support of the appeal.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 July 2002 for a
period of four years in the grade of airman first class.
On 17 July 2002, the applicant elected to enroll in the Montgomery GI
Bill option via DD Form 2366, Montgomery GI Bill Act of 1984, while in
Basic Military Training.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends disapproval. After a thorough review of the
applicant’s military records and talking with the Military Entrance
Processing Station (MEPS), they concluded that he knowingly enrolled
in the MGIB.
The Procedural Guidance Message dated 1 February 2002, governing the
CLRP clearly state that you cannot have the CLRP and the MGIB active
at the same time. If a member elect the CLRP, they opt to use the
MGIB on their second enlistment.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 January 2004, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and response within 30 days. 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After reviewing the evidence of
record, we do believe the applicant has been the victim of an
injustice. In this respect, because the Air Force is unable to
produce the AF Form 3008 and DD Form 1966/1 containing the required
codes that are mandatory according to the procedural message for the
program issued to all recruiters, it appears the applicant may not
have been properly counseled concerning his eligibility to participate
in the College Loan Repayment Program (CLRP). We have no way of
knowing if the applicant meets all of the eligibility criteria to
participate in the program. Nevertheless, in view of the above and to
offset any possibility of an injustice, we recommend his records be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that, provided he meets
the eligibility criteria for participation in the College Loan
Repayment Program (CLRP), on 17 July 2002, he elected to participate
in that program rather than the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB).
