RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04009
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Air Force honor the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program
(ECLRP) he signed up for on 13 Feb 2007 to pay his private
student loan.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His loan was attached to his enlistment contract when he went to
the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) and was not
disqualified at the time.
The ECLRP was one of the benefits that enticed him to join the
Air Force.
He wants to take advantage of this entitlement prior to his re-
enlistment.
He contacted his recruiter; however, he was unable to assist
him, stating he had nothing to do with loans being qualified or
disqualified.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement
from his first sergeant, and a copy of his AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement United States Air Force,
and student loan application.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 13 Feb 2007, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force, as an
E-2, for a period of four years and elected to participate in
the ECLRP.
On 28 Sep 2011, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four
years.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states there is no
provision under the law (sic) to reimburse a private student
loan.
DPSIT states, 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 23 Dec 2011, 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 an error or injustice. In this
respect, the applicant states when he signed up for ECLRP his
student loan was attached to his enlistment contract and he
believed his loan had met the requirements to be paid under the
ECLRP. Subsequently he was advised his loan did not qualify.
While the applicants contentions are duly noted; after
reviewing the evidence of record, we do not find his
uncorroborated assertions, in and by themselves, sufficiently
persuasive in this matter. Therefore, the applicant has failed
to sustain his burden that he has been the victim of an error or
injustice. Should the applicant provide corroborative evidence
from his recruiter or the MEPS stating he was miscounseled, we
would be willing to reconsider his request. 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.
