                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-01307
            INDEX CODE:  128.14

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  21 OCTOBER 2006

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect enrollment in the Enlisted College
Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

There was supposed to be an amendment made by  his  recruiter  stating
that he wanted to be enrolled in the CLRP Program.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a personal statement.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program (DEP) on 14
November 2002 and enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 June 2003  in
the grade of airman basic, for a period of six years.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant be denied.  Based  on  all  the
enlistment documents submitted by the applicant, no proof  to  support
his claim and the AF Form 3008, Supplement  to  Enlistment  Agreement,
clearly reflects that the applicant elected to not participate or  was
not qualified.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 3 June 2005, 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.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the  existence  of  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, a majority of the Board  does  not  find  his  uncorroborated
assertions of miscounseling sufficiently persuasive  to  override  the
rationale provided by the Air Force office of primary  responsibility.
In this respect, a majority notes that, at the time of enlistment, the
applicant initialed indicating he was counseled on the CLRP option and
elected not to participate in the program.  A majority of  the  Board,
therefore, agrees with the recommendation of the Air Force  office  of
primary responsibility and concludes that the applicant has failed  to
sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or  injustice.
In view of the above and absent evidence to the contrary,  a  majority
finds no basis  to  recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

A majority of the  panel  finds  insufficient  evidence  of  error  or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the  Board  considered  this  application  in
Executive Session on 25  August  and  12  September  2005,  under  the
