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.
