COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he enrolled in the Enlisted
College Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was miscounseled regarding the ECLRP and the Montgomery GI Bill
(MGIB). He and many others were not told they could enroll in the
ECLRP during their first enlistment and then select the MGIB on the
second enlistment.
The complete applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 Jun 05, in the
grade of airman first class. He currently serves in that grade and is
stationed at Hurlburt Field, FL.
On 28 Jun 05, he acknowledged the ECLRP in his contract by initialing
the nonparticipating statement and signing the form.
On 16 Mar 09, AFPC/DPSIT requested the applicant provide additional
documentation to support his appeal. As of this date he has not
responded to that request (Exhibit B).
The ECLRP is a recruiting incentive offered at enlistment and
enrollment is documentated on AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment
Agreement – United States Air Force. The Air Force repays the lesser
amount of one-third or $3,333.33 per year of outstanding qualifying
student loans. Payments are made in three annual installments and the
maximum repayment amount is $10,000.00, less federal income tax.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states the applicant declined
enrollment in the ECLRP. He offered no evidence of government error
to substantiate his request. He acknowledged his understanding that
he would not have another opportunity to enroll in the ECLRP and
permanently waived his ECLRP enrollment option.
The AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
24 Jul 09 for review and comment 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or 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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or 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.
