RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00850
INDEX CODE: 112.03, 128.14
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to repay the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP)
money he received so that he can use his current enlistment to qualify for
the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 7 August 2008, a similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board.
For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
applicant's request and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board,
see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E.
On 14 August 2008, the applicant provided additional information for
consideration in which he contends that he was briefed on the CLRP while in-
processing at MEPS and was briefed on the MGIB while in Basic Military
Training (BMT), which caused the injustice. He feels that he has fallen
victim to a bait and switch scheme as an enlistment incentive. If he had
been given the opportunity to weigh both education programs, he would have
been able to make a better informed decision.
To support this request, the applicant provided a personal statement, a
copy of a DD Form 2475, DoD Loan Repayment Program (LRP) Annual
Application, and a VA Form 22-1990, (VONAPP).
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was insufficient evidence
to warrant any corrective action. After thoroughly reviewing the
additional documentation submitted in support of this appeal and the
evidence of record, we do not believe the applicant has overcome the
rationale expressed in our previous decision. Therefore, in view of the
above, and in the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis upon which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s
request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the additional 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.
