RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03934
            INDEX CODE:  128.05
            COUNSEL:   NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  AF  Form  3007,  Guaranteed  Training  Enlistment  Agreement  Non-Prior
Service  –  United  States  Air  Force  and  AF  Form  3008,  Supplement  to
Enlistment Agreement – United States Air Force be  updated  to  reflect  his
current Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) of 1C4X1 and he be paid  an  initial
enlistment bonus (IEB) for AFSC 1C431,  Tactical  Air  Command  and  Control
Apprentice (TACP).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Changing the forms to reflect his correct AFSC would  eliminate  any  future
confusion and award of his IEB.

In support of his application, he submits his AF Form 3007,  AF  Form  3008,
and Certificate of Training.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Nov 03, and  is  currently
serving in the grade of senior airman.

His Air Force Form 3007, dated 18 Nov 03, reflects he enlisted in the  1T231
AFSC (Pararescue Apprentice)  and  his  AF  Form  3008,  dated  18  Nov  03,
reflects he was entitled to a $10,000 initial enlistment  bonus  (IEB)  upon
completion of the terms of his enlistment agreement.

Other relevant facts are outlined in the HQ AFPC/DPSOAA opinion  at  Exhibit
C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOAA recommends denial of the applicant’s request.

DPSOAA states the AF Form  3007  shows  that  the  applicant  enlisted  with
guaranteed training into AFSC 1T231, Pararescue Apprentice.   He  failed  to
complete the 1T231 training and was reclassified into  the  1C431,  Tactical
Air Command and Control.  The 1C431 AFSC was not authorized an  IEB  at  the
time of his enlistment and his eligibility to an IEB for the IT231 AFSC  was
forfeited when he did not complete the required training.

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.

DPSOAA will notify the applicant to accomplish an AF Form 3009  to  identify
his reclassification into a non-bonus AFSC.

The complete DPSOAA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on  1  Feb
08 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office  has
not received a 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.   After  a  thorough  review   of   the
applicant's submission, we are not persuaded that the  requested  relief  is
warranted.  His contentions are duly noted; however, we  found  no  evidence
that he was denied benefits to which he was entitled.  Therefore,  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.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
