RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00448
INDEX CODE: 128.14
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 13 AUGUST 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records be corrected to permit her participation in the College
Loan Repayment Program (CLRP).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not informed about the CLRP and did not have any idea about
the program. She was just informed about the Montgomery GI Bill
(MGIB).
In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of AF Form
3008 (Supplement to Enlistment Agreement), dated 22 Nov 04. The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 22 November 2004,
acknowledged that she was briefed on the CLRP option, and elected not
to participate in the program (AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment
Agreement). She is currently on active duty in the grade of airman,
with an effective date and date of rank of 22 May 2005.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied. DPPAE states the
applicant does not provide evidence in support of her claim.
Department of Defense (DoD) records indicate the applicant elected
enrollment in the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB). Title 38 forbids
qualifying for CLRP payment and MGIB on the same period of service.
If the applicant is granted relief, she will be required to complete a
subsequent term of service or MGIB benefits will be forfeited without
refund of the $1,200 pay reduction. DPPAE indicates that CLRP is an
enlistment incentive not an entitlement. This tool is used to attract
new recruits and stay competitive with sister services who also have
loan repayment programs. The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation, with
attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 25
March 2005 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. Her contentions are duly noted;
however, we do not find these uncorroborated assertions, in and by
themselves sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility. In this respect,
we note that, at the time of enlistment, the applicant initialed
indicating she was counseled on the CLRP option and elected not to
participate in the program. We, therefore, agree with the
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and
conclude that the applicant has failed to sustain her burden that she
has suffered either an error or injustice. In view of the above and
absent evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.

Based on all the facts presented by the applicant, DPPAES believes she was well aware at her time of entry into active duty that she was not eligible to be enrolled into the MGIB. After reviewing the evidence of record, we do believe the applicant has been the victim of an injustice. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on...

However, in-depth information is provided after entry on active duty that correctly addresses the program and eligibility.
