RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01690
            INDEX CODE:  128.05

            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  29 NOVEMBER 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be paid his Initial Enlistment Bonus (IEB) for Air Force  Specialty  Code
(AFSC) 1C431, Tactical Air Command and Control Apprentice.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement authorized an  IEB  for
AFSC 1C231 for $10,000, but his current AFSC 1C431 is authorized an  IEB  of
$6,000.  He was eliminated from 1C231, his previous AFSC.

In support of his request, the applicant submits copies  of  his  enlistment
contract, a RIP, and  a  Certificate  of  Training  from  the  Tactical  Air
Command and Control Apprentice Course.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 24 May 05,  the  applicant  contracted  his  initial  enlistment  in  the
Regular Air Force in the grade of airman basic (E-1) for  a  period  of  six
years.

The AF Form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement, shows  that  the
applicant enlisted on 24 May 05 with guaranteed training  into  AFSC  1C231,
Combat Control  Apprentice.   Later  there  was  a  change  in  his  initial
agreement and an AF  Form  3008,  was  accomplished.   The  member  did  not
complete  training  in  the  originally  guaranteed  AFSC  1C231   and   was
reclassified into AFSC 1C431, but there was  no  AF  Form  3009,  Change  to
Enlistment Agreement, accomplished to show this action.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial and further states the Board  should  direct
an AF Form 3009, Change to Enlistment Agreement – United States  Air  Force,
be accomplished to identify the  member’s  reclassification  into  the  non-
bonus AFSC 1C431 from the bonus AFSC 1C231.  The applicant did not  complete
the guaranteed 1C231 AFSC and therefore was re-classed into AFSC 1C431,  for
which there was no bonus during May 2005.

The IEB program is an incentive program used  to  encourage  individuals  to
enlist in selected AFSCs needed by the  Air  Force.   The  bonus  AFSCs  are
determined by Air Staff on a quarterly basis.  At the time of  the  member’s
Enlistment Date on 24 May 2005, there  was  no  bonus  authorized  for  AFSC
1C431.  The member’s reclassification went from a bonus AFSC of 1C231  to  a
non-bonus AFSC of 1C431.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 13 Jul 07, a copy of the Air  Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant 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.
