RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03413 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His term of enlistment be reduced from six years to four years. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His enlistment agreement states he would enter the Air Force as 
an Airman First Class (A1C) for a term of six years as required 
for the Air Force Specialty (AFS) Air Traffic Controller. 
However, should he wash-out of the training, his enlistment 
would be reduced. After arriving at his new base, he waited for 
his records to be updated. He finally contacted the Military 
Personnel Flight and was told to submit this application. 

 

He contacted the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) and was told 
the term of enlistment is up to the individual and that all jobs 
except for Air Traffic Controller’s required four-year 
enlistments. He also spoke with his recruiter who agreed his 
enlistment should be reduced. 

 

He would like his term of enlistment reduced so that he can use 
his Montgomery GI Bill. He enrolled in the Enlisted College 
Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP) and cannot use both programs 
during the same term. He would like to one day earn his 
commission. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of the 
AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement – USAF, a copy 
of the AF Form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement 
Non-Prior Service – USAF, and a copy of the AFRS HQ Form 42, 
Procedural Guidance Message. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently active duty serving in the grade of 
Senior Airman. On 6 August 2008, he signed the AF Form 3007, 


guaranteeing him the Air Traffic Controller specialty. On 
25 August 2008, he modified that contract by signing the AF Form 
3008, enlisting as an A1C for a term of six years and enrolling 
in the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial. The applicant agreed to a six 
year term of enlistment (TOE) contract as a requirement to 
reserve a position in AFS Air Traffic Controller. He was 
decertified on 1 October 2009 and reclassified into Missile 
Maintenance. His decertification/disqualification does not 
relieve him of his original obligation to serve a six year TOE. 
Changing initial TOE is not an option listed on his enlistment 
documents or in pertinent Air Force Instructions. 

 

The complete DPSIP evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 January 2012, 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 error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant’s 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’s 
decertification does not relieve him of his original six year 
obligation and 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.
