RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00709
INDEX CODE: 128.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 Sep 07
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His indebtedness to the government be cancelled.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was disenrolled from the AFROTC program at Purdue University for
allegedly failing to maintain military retention standards when he was not
awarded an Enrollment Allocation. He complied with all aspects of his
contract and passed all physical training requirements, received almost all
A's in his Air Force classes, and attended all required events. He met all
academic requirements for engineering school and was admitted into the
electrical engineering program in accordance with his contract with the Air
Force.
During the second semester of his sophomore year, he was advised that the
Air Force budget had been cut and that a program had been instituted to
transfer Air Force cadets to the Army Corp. He advised his superiors he
was not interested in being a pilot. His primary interest is in designing
and building planes, space platforms, guidance systems, etc. As such, he
was not interested in transferring to the Army Corp. In July 2005, he was
notified he was not accepted and would not be able to retain his
scholarship. The Air Force has only one commitment and they elected to
violate that commitment because of funding cuts and too many officers on
staff. The Air Force, both in spirit and in fact, breached its contract
with him.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant currently has a debt to the Government for his ROTC education
expenses in the amount of $23,957.12, including interest, penalty, and
administrative fee.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the evaluation prepared by the appropriate office of primary
responsibility.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFOATS/JA recommends denial. JA states the applicant was disenrolled for
Failure to Maintain Military Retention Standards in accordance with AFOATSI
36-2015, Chapter 3, paragraph 3.2.2.1.15. He met the board and was
notified on 21 March 2005 that he did not receive an Enrollment Allocation.
Applicant's record reflects for the first semester of 2003 he received a
semester GPA of 3.0; however, in the second semester of 2003 he received a
2.57 GPA. During his last semester before he met the board, his semester
GPA was only 2.0. There were two semesters in a row where he received a D
in a subject. He asserted he was one of the top cadets in his class;
however, on the AFROTC IMT 22, the commander stated he was ranked in the
bottom third of his peer group. He was also warned during his February
2004 term interview for failing his fitness test, specifically, the run
portion. There were no errors in his disenrollment.
The AFOATS/JA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7
April 2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response.
________________________________________________________________
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 and adopt their
rationale as the basis for the 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 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.

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.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant states through her grandfather she was medically qualified for a commission in the Air Force, based on the physical examination conduced on 16 January 2004.

d. The applicant admitted to deceiving the Commander of the AFROTC Detachment (Det) and a professor by lying about a grade change. On 26 Jan 04, the AFROTC Det commander requested from HQ AFROTC the applicant be investigated for disenrollment. However, the captains stated the applicant arrived at about 1230 on 12 Nov 03 and within 15 to 20 minutes of the interview began to tell the truth about her actions on the PFT, the failed summer course, being signed into LLAB, and lying to the AFROTC...

On 20 May 97, the applicant was advised in writing of HQ AFROTC’s decision, and notified that he would be required to complete the PFT, 1.5 mile run, and meet weight and body fat standards for commissioning. In regards to the applicant’s allegation that the debt of $77,000 is disproportionate, he states that maintaining body fat standards is a training requirement specified in the AFROTC contract. Counsel also asserts that AFOATS/JA glosses over the fact that when the applicant was weighed...

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. AFOATS/JA's complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPAO makes no recommendation regarding the pilot training slot as HQ AFROTC conducted that selection board and is outside the active duty process; however, they would recommend the applicant complete navigator training as she was assessed into the Air Force as a navigator. However, since commissioning, she has obtained waivers to correct her disqualifying...

On this same date, his commander approved his request and advised the applicant of the consequences of his request. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Applicant states he made a verbal request for a medical waiver or a possible change in degree program. Therefore, after reviewing all the evidence provided, the Board is not persuaded the applicant’s rights were violated, or that he was treated any differently than...

AFROTC is authorized up to 60 days to review all disenrollment investigations. e. The decision to call the applicant to EAD is not punitive in nature; rather, it is an activation of the voluntary commitment he made to the Air Force via the contract (AF Form 1056) he signed on 13 August 2008, in exchange for education and training benefits and the opportunity to earn a commission as an Air Force officer. In this respect, the majority notes the Holm Center/JA evaluation indicates the...
c. In reference to the applicant’s third allegation, he does not specify any particular error that was made. Therefore, they recommend that no change be made to applicant’s military records. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
