                       HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 22 DECEMBER 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He initially enlisted with a guaranteed AFSC in the  General  aptitude
area, 9TG43.  He did not complete the training and  enrolled  in  AFSC
IT031, which had an IEB of $6,000.00.  He was re-classified into  AFSC
1C431, which had an IEB of $4,000.

He further contends his Air Force  Form  3009,  Change  to  Enlistment
Agreement  –  United  States  Air  Force  was  not  updated  when   he
voluntarily re-classified to AFSC 1C431.

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted copies of his enlistment
contracts and agreements.  His complete submission, with  attachments,
is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty  in  the  grade  of
airman first class (A1C).

His records reflect he enlisted in the Air Force on 21 June  2005  as
an airman for four years.  On 5 August 2005 he signed an AF Form 3009
that changed his AFSC to IT031,  Survival,  Evasion,  Resistance  and
Escape, that authorized an IEB of $6,000.00.  The applicant failed to
complete the technical training for AFSC IT031 and was  re-classified
to AFSC 1C431, Tactical Air Command and Control Apprentice.  The AFSC
1C431 was not authorized an IEB at the  time  applicant  enlisted  in
military service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE  recommends  the  requested  relief  be  denied.   DPPAE
reviewed the documentation submitted by the applicant  and conducted a
review of his records and determined he did not complete the  training
for the AFSC IT031 and was re-classified into AFSC  1C431,  which  was
not authorized an IEB at the time of his enlistment.

AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 3
August 2007, for review and response within 30 days.  As of this date,
no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.    The application was not timely filed;  however,  it  is  in  the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or an 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 failed to sustain his burden
of proof that he  has  suffered  either  an  error  or  an  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.
