      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  16 Mar 07


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The amount of his initial enlistment bonus  (IEB)  be  increased  from
$9,000 to the correct amount of $15,000.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He received a report  on  individual  personnel  (RIP)  from  HQ  AFPC
informing him that his IEB had changed from $9,000.00 to $15,000.  The
RIP also advised him that it  would  serve  as  an  amendment  to  his
original orders.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of  a  message
from AFPC/DPPAEQ advising him of the change to his IEB and a  copy  of
his enlistment contract.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to  documents  in  the  Automated  Records  Document  System
(ARMS), the applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 10  Dec  02  for  a
period of six years in Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 1N330.  Annex D
of the applicant’s enlistment contract, which he initialed and signed,
indicates he would be authorized an initial enlistment  bonus  in  the
amount of $9,000 upon completion of technical training  and  award  of
the three skill level in his guaranteed AFSC.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE  recommends  denial  of  the  applicant’s   request.    The
applicant was promised and paid an IEB of $9,000 as indicated on Annex
D to his enlistment contract, AF Form 3008, “Supplement to  Enlistment
Agreement-United States Air Force,  which  he  initialed  and  signed,
dated 10 Dec 02.

The documentation the applicant has provided is an erroneous  document
that is produced anytime the bonus amount changes for  any  Air  Force
Specialty Code (AFSC).  The  document  has  been  stopped  from  being
produced by the military personnel data system.

AFPC/DPPAE provides a copy of the AF Form 3008 signed by the applicant
and a copy of the IEB amounts in effect from 1 Oct through 31 Dec 03.

The complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
10 Nov 05 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a  response
has not been received.

_________________________________________________________________

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, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the  basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the  victim  of  an
error or injustice.  Therefore, in the  absence  of  evidence  to  the
contrary, we find no compelling 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.
