RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-01691
            INDEX CODE:  128.05

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  1 DEC 08

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was eliminated from his  previous  AFSC  (1C231)  and  his  current  AFSC
(1C431) is authorized an IEB of $4,000.00.

In support of his request, the applicant  provided  documentation  extracted
from his military personnel record.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 March 2005  in  the  grade
of airman basic.  He is currently serving in  the  grade  of  senior  airman
effective and with a date of rank of 22 July 2007.

On 22  March  2005,  the  applicant  signed  AF  Form  3008,  Supplement  to
Enlistment Agreement – United States Air Force that guaranteed him  training
in the  1C231,  Combat  Control  Apprentice  AFSC  for  a  $6,000  IEB  upon
completion of technical training.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states 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.  The applicant signed an AF  Form  3008  dated  22  March  2005  that
guaranteed him training in the 1C231, Combat Control Apprentice AFSC  for  a
$6,000.00 IEB.  However, a review of the applicant’s military records  found
that the applicant did not complete technical training for the  1C231  AFSC.
The applicant was reclassed into 1C431, Tactical  Air  Command  and  Control
Apprentice.  Based on the applicant’s enlistment date of 22 March 2005,  the
1C431 was not a bonus AFSC at that time.  The  applicant  did  not  complete
the training for the guaranteed 1C231,  and  therefore  was  reclassed  into
1C431 AFSC that was not a bonus AFSC during March 2007[sic].

The DPPAE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 3 July 2007, the evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant  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 an error or an  injustice.   The  applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted; however, the Board does  not  find  the  applicant’s  assertions
sufficiently persuasive to  override  the  rationale  provided  by  the  Air
Force.  The Board notes the applicant signed  and  initialed  an  enlistment
agreement for payment of  a  $6,000.00  IEB  upon  completion  of  technical
training in AFSC 1C231.  He did not complete the technical training for  his
career field and was reclassified into AFSC 1C431, in  which  no  enlistment
bonus existed for this AFSC when the applicant enlisted.  Therefore,  he  is
not entitled to an IEB for AFSC  1C431.   Accordingly,  in  the  absence  of
evidence to the contrary, the Board finds no compelling basis  to  recommend
granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate  the
existence of an error or injustice; the application  was  denied  without  a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon  the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not  considered  with  this
application.
