RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02346
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his
dependent.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He enrolled both of his sons in the Post 9/11 GI Bill Transfer
Eligibility Benefit (TEB) program. He requested 24 months for
his oldest son and 12 months for his youngest son. His oldest
son has received the benefits; however, he was informed by the
Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) that his youngest son is not
authorized the benefit. He does not know why his youngest sons
enrollment did not go through.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 30 Sep 10, the applicant was released from active duty service
for voluntary retirement maximum service or time in grade.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants military records, are contained in
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at
Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ USAF/A1PA recommends denial. A1PA states the applicant did
not submit documentation to support his assertion that he
submitted a request to transfer Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to
his younger son prior to his retirement on 1 Oct 10.
A1PA states a review of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC)
TEB website reflects the applicants 24-month transfer to his
oldest son and there is no evidence of a second transfer request.
A1PA notes the applicant had the opportunity and time to ensure
the transfer of benefits had actually consummated before he
retired on 1 Oct 10.
The complete A1PA evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 29 Jul 11, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.

However, the Board could find that there was an injustice if the members were on active duty on 1 Aug 09, were not personally counseled about the need to execute a transfer while serving in the Armed Forces, and did not have ready access to DoD and Air Force guidance because of their terminal leave status. The transfer date could be effective as early as 1 Aug 09 and there would be no need to place the member on active duty since the TEB system allows for correction of the record by Air...
