IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-03389
INDEX CODE: 128.11
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 8 MAY 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show he enrolled in the Enlisted College
Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not realize he was waiving his ECLRP when he initialed Block E
on his AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement. He was
confused and rushed through the Military Entrance Processing Station.
In support of his request, applicant provides a copy of his AF Form
3008 and an email from the ECLRP denying him CLRP. Applicant's
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 February 2003.
He currently serves in the grade of senior airman and is stationed at
Shaw AFB, SC.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states the AF Form 3008,
Supplement to Enlistment Agreement, reflects the applicant declined
enrollment in ECLRP at the time of his enlistment. The AFPC/DPPAE
evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 29 December 2005, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment. 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 warranting a correction to the record.
In this respect, the applicant contends that because he was confused
and rushed through the Military Entrance Processing Station, he did not
realize he was waiving his Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program
(ECLRP) election. We believe since the applicant had everything to
gain with nothing to lose, he was either confused or misunderstood his
options at the time. This conclusion is supported by the fact that to
have knowingly refused to accept a program that could contribute toward
payment of his college debts with no strings attached would have been
an illogical decision on his part. In view of the above, we believe
that in order to resolve what appears to be an honest mistake made by
the applicant; his record should be corrected to reflect his election
to participate in the ECLRP. Accordingly, we recommend his records be
corrected as 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 on 20 November 2002,
he elected to participate in the program.
