APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her DD Form 214 shows no reference to the DD Form 214 worksheet 
she submitted. 

 

She did not enlist under the Enlisted College Loan Repayment 
Program (ECLRP). 

 

She completed her dental examination on 12 Jul 11. 

 

The errors on her DD Form 214 may have affected the receipt of 
her unemployment insurance, her claim for future Veterans 
Affairs (VA) disability and benefits, medical insurance, 
receipt of Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits, medical treatment, and 
care at VA Hospitals. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her 
DD Form 214 worksheet, DD Form 2366, Montgomery GI Bill Act of 
1994 (MGIB) Basic Enrollment, and SF Form 603a, Chronological 
Record of Dental Care. 

 

 

 


 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant served on active duty in the Regular Air Force 
from 26 Jun 07 to 25 Aug 11. Her DD Form 214 reflects a total 
of four years and two months of active service, which includes 
two years, six months, and nine days of Foreign Service. 

 

In a letter to the applicant, the noncommissioned officer in 
charge (NCOIC) of DD Form 214 Corrections, Retirements and 
Separations After Actions Branch (HQ AFPC/DPSOY), advised the 
applicant that her records have been partially corrected and 
provided a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate 
of Release or Discharge From Active Service. The DD Form 
215 reflects a correction to block 17. 

 

DPSOY advised the applicant they are unable to make a change to 
item 8b, Station Where Separated. AFI 36-3202, Separation 
Documents, states in part, to enter the full name of the base or 
facility of where the separation documents were prepared. The 
item is correct since the documents were prepared at the base 
indicated in item 8b. 

 

DPSOY states that item 15c, Enlisted Under Loan Repayment 
Program, is marked correctly and refers the applicant to the 
AFPC/DPSIT advisory, dated 22 Sep 11, which states she elected 
to participate in the ECLRP (Exhibit C). 

 

DPSOY refers to item 20, Member Requests Copy 6 Be Sent To, and 
states they no longer mail copy 6 of the DD 214 to the 
Department of Veteran Affairs since they can access the form 
electronically if required. 

 

DPSOY states the applicant listed “LA” in item 20 on her DD Form 
214 worksheet.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial of her request to change her ECLRP 
election. DPSIT states the applicant elected to participate in 
the ECLRP on her first enlistment. 

 

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, Supplement to 
Enlistment Agreement – United States Air Force. 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 applicant’s AF Form 3008, dated 26 Jun 07, reflects she 
understood that to qualify for the MGIB, she had to enter a 
second term of enlistment. 

 

DPSIT states the applicant does not meet the MGIB requirements 
because she did not enter a second term. Therefore, the 
applicant forfeited her MGIB contribution. 

 

The complete 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 28 Oct 11, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a 
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 warranting 
action by this Board. The applicant has requested correction of 
several items on her DD Form 214. We note the applicant was 
advised in a letter, dated 13 October 2011, by AFPC/DPSOY that 
block 17 has been corrected to reflect that the applicant was 
provided a complete dental examination. Additionally, we note 
the applicant was advised that copies of the corrected forms 
have been forwarded to the Department of Veterans Affairs and 
Department of Labor. This should satisfy the applicant’s 
request for correction of block 20a, “Member Requests Copy 3 Be 
Sent to the Central Office of The Department of Veterans 
Affairs.” After a thorough review of the available evidence and 
the applicant’s complete submission, we are not persuaded that 
Item 15c, “Enlisted Under Loan Repayment Program,” should be 
changed to reflect “No.” Therefore we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of AFPC/DPSIT, and adopt its rationale as the 
basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim 
of an error or injustice. With respect to the applicant’s 
remaining requested corrections to her DD Form 214, we note that 
AFPC/DPSOY in the letter referenced above advised the applicant 
that block 8b appropriately reflects Randolph AFB TX as the 
location where her separation documents were prepared, that 
block 20 does not require correction because the DD Form 214 is 
no longer mailed to state Veteran Affairs offices since the the 


form can now be accessed electronically. Therefore, aside from 
the administrative corrections noted above, and in the absence 
of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
provide any further relief 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.
