RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00666
INDEX NUMBER: 128.10
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: Yes
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His indebtedness to the government resulting from his Air Force
Reserve Officer Corp scholarship (AFROTC) be cancelled.
In his rebuttal to the Air Force evaluation at Exhibit I, the
applicant requests that if his debt is not cancelled, it be placed on
hold until he has the opportunity to send his DD Form 214 in to show
that he has completed two full years of active duty service.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 24 Jun 04, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request
essentially as stated above (Exhibit E). In a DD Form 149, dated 21
Jan 07, the applicant states that none of his debt has been cancelled
despite his having served three years on the Army National Guard
(Exhibit F). The applicant contends he was advised by the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) that if he provided evidence of
having served as an officer in the military, he could apply to HQ
AFROTC for immediate termination of his debt. He states that HQ
AFROTC denied his request for debt cancellation although he has served
three years in the Army National Guard (ANG).
The applicant states he is preparing for deployment to Iraq and will
have a difficult time supporting his family if he has to continue
paying his debt. He requests the Board consider the following
options:
a. The Board decrease his debt by a substantial amount so he
can continue to serve in the ANG and support his family.
b. The Board put his debt on hold indefinitely until he
submits proof of his deployment to “war” with the ANG.
In support of his request for reconsideration, the applicant provides
a signed statement, copy of a letter from DFAS, a copy of the denial
of his request for termination of debt from HQ AFROTC, copies of pay
documents, and a photo copy of his ID card reflecting his grade as
second lieutenant in the US Army (Exhibit F).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFOAT/JA recommends denial of the requested relief. .
The applicant contends his debt to the government should be terminated
because he has served three years in the ANG. He provides evidence to
show he is assigned to the ANG and served an active duty training tour
from 6 Aug 06 through 31 Jan 07. In accordance with AFROTCI 36-2015,
AFROTC Contract Cadet Disenrollment, Chapter 8, Paragraph 8.1.2,
“Termination of Scholarship Recoupment,” HQ AFROTC will consider
terminating the recoupment debt of disenrolled cadets who complete 2
years of continuous enlisted active duty service or who receive an
active duty commission. A commission or enlistment in the Guard or
Reserves does not apply unless two years of continuous active duty
service is completed. The applicant has not provided sufficient
evidence to warrant approval of his request.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In his response to the Air Force evaluation, the applicant requests
changes be made in the wording of the evaluation. He reiterates his
request for cancellation of his debt.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again considering the original evidence of record and the
applicant’s new submission, the Board still does not find that the
applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. In that
regard, we agree with the determination of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility that the applicant has not submitted sufficient
evidence that he has completed two years of continuous active duty
service, which is required for HQ AFROTC to consider terminating his
debt. Regarding the applicant’s request that his debt be placed on
hold, this request is outside the purview of this Board. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we again do not find a
basis for granting the requested relief.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

It would also allow the Air Force to determine if he was fit for continued military service and to take the appropriate action. They further noted the applicant claimed that his medical condition began while he was on active duty. Additionally, we note that even though the final decision of AFROTC headquarters was to disenroll him, his AFROTC Detachment commander had recommended he be returned to active duty so he could possibly receive medical attention for his illness.
