RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03574
INDEX NUMBER: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be enrolled in the College Loan Repayment Program (CLRP) under
the terms of his initial enlistment.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) informed him he
could enroll in the CLRP at his first duty station.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
__________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 22 Oct 02, applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an E-
3, for a period of four years.
On 4 Nov 02, applicant signed a DD Form 2366, Montgomery GI Bill
Act of 1984 (MGIB), to participate in the MGIB.
__________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be disapproved.
The Procedural Guidance Message, dated 1 February 2002, governing
the College Loan Repayment Plan (CLRP) clearly states that you
cannot have the CLRP and the MGIB active at the same time. If a
member elects the CLRP, he or she opts to use the MGIB on their
second enlistment. The applicant has not provided evidence to
substantiate his statement that the recruiter misinformed him. The
Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) was contacted and they
related that he expressed no interest in enrolling into the CLRP.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 Jan 04, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a
reply has not been received. (Exhibit D)
___________________________________________________________________
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 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 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 4 November 2002, he elected to
participate in that program rather than the Montgomery GI Bill
(MGIB).
