dependents. Her dependents have not utilized any of the benefit

master sergeant.

extracted from the applicants military records, are contained in
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force
(Exhibit B). Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts
in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states the applicant signed
a Statement of Understanding (SOU) with the understanding that
just because a member can revoke benefits; it does not
automatically cancel the associated ADSC - even if benefits have
not been used.
The DPSIT complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 16 September 2011, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no
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 an error or injustice. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; 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.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

Had the applicant gone onto the Air Force website to transfer benefits he would have been approved and would have found out about the ADSC he would have incurred as a result of the transfer of education benefits. If the advertising of the GI Bill was as robust as suggested by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, then he or at least one of the five counselors mentioned above would have known the process of how to transfer GI Bill benefits to his dependents. ...

While you may revoke your transfer at any time, a revocation DOES NOT automatically cancel the associated Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC), EVEN IF BENEFITS HAVE NOT BEEN USED.

We took notice of the applicant's complete submission to include his rebuttal statement, in judging the merits of the case;...
