RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02621
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Air Force honor the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program
(ECLRP) he signed up for on 23 Sep 03.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On 12 Jun 11, he discovered that he accepted the terms of the
ECLRP on his AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement
United States Air Force, dated 23 Sep 03.
He would like the Air Force to grant administrative relief for
payment since he has exceeded three years since enlisting.
It is unjust because when he arrived at his first duty station,
he was told by the Military Personnel Flight (MPF), Finance, and
the Education Office that the ECLRP was no longer available.
He consolidated his student loans on 5 Jul 07 with the original
balance totaling $14,233.66. He is currently in good standing
making payments on the current principal balance of $11,869.71.
As a young airman he listened to personnel who gave him
incorrect information and would like to be given the opportunity
to utilize the ECLRP he signed up for.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
AF Form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement Non-Prior
Service United States Air Force; AF Form 3008, and student
loan information.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 23 Sep 03, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force for a
period of eight years.
On 17 Apr 09, the applicant reenlisted in the Air Force for a
period of five years.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT cites the following reasons:
(1) He has entered into a second term of enlistment; therefore,
is disqualified from participating in the program. (2) The
12 Jun 11 discovery date far exceeds the program statute of
limitation by more than seven and one half years from his
initial contract date of 23 Sep 03. (3) There is no supporting
documentation to show he was mis-counseled by MPF or Finance.
(4) There is no evidence to support his claim that in 2003,
someone at the base Education Office told him he did not qualify
because the program was no longer offered.
DPSIT states the ECLRP falls under Title 10 U.S.C., Section
2171 and is a recruiting incentive offered at enlistment.
Enrollment is documented on AF Form 3008. The Air Force pays
the lesser amount of one-third or $3,333.33 per year of
outstanding qualifying student loans for first term airmen.
Payments are made in three annual installments and the maximum
amount is $10,000, less federal tax.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 19 Jul 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
D).
________________________________________________________________
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 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.
