RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                       DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-00833
                                             INDEX CODE:  100.00
                                             COUNSEL:  NONE

                                             HEARING DESIRED:  NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  21 SEP 2007


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be reinstated into undergraduate navigator training (UNT).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He understood that Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT)  was  not
in his best interested and withdrew from the program on his own accord.   He
was young and lacked the maturity and foresight to recognize the  impact  on
his SUPT elimination towards other Air Force Specialty Codes  (AFSCs).   His
decision to self eliminate from SUPT should not preclude  any  consideration
of other rated positions.  He is qualified for rated training and knows  the
Air Force can best utilize his skills  as  a  navigator  or  in  Air  Battle
Management (ABM).

In support of the appeal, applicant  submits  extracts  from  his  SIE  SUPT
package and a supporting statement from his squadron commander.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty  in  the  grade  of  first
lieutenant (O-2).  On 19 March 2003, applicant entered SUPT, class  04-07/E.
 On 2 June 2003, he self-initiated a drop-on-request (DOR) to be  eliminated
from SUPT due to  his  strong  desire  to  pursue  a  career  in  logistics,
specifically in logistics readiness.  He was  withdrawn  from  training  and
entered into the Commander’s  Review  (CR)  process.   His  elimination  was
approved by the wing commander on 10 June 2003.

________________________________________________________________


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AETC/A3F recommends the application be denied, and states, in  part  that  a
student eliminated for  self-initiated  reasons,  before,  during  or  after
course completion are ineligible  for  further  flight  training.   Further,
during  the  CR  process,  students  are  briefed  on  the  review  process,
potential outcomes, and eligibility for further flight training.   There  is
no evidence of error or injustice to warrant an exception to policy.

The AETC/A3F evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the evaluation was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  on  28
April 2006, for review and comment, within 30 days.   However,  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 an error or injustice.  The Board notes that  the  evidence  of
record shows that the applicant elected to disenroll from the  Undergraduate
Pilot Training.  The Board further notes that  the  governing  directive  in
effect  at  the  time  of  his  voluntary  disenrollment   clearly   states,
individuals eliminated for self-initiated reasons, before  during  or  after
course completion are ineligible for further  flight  training.   The  Board
believes the applicant was  provided  every  opportunity  in  which  he  was
entitled  and  due  to  his  voluntary  disenrollment   from   Undergraduate
Navigator  Training  is  disqualified  for  future  Undergraduate  Navigator
Training.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in  judging
the  merits  of  the  case;  however,  we  agree  with  the   opinions   and
recommendations of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and  adopt
it’s 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.
