obtain additional information. The ROM stated, information on
the Post 9/11 GI Bill and Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) is
posted in the Wing Newsletter on every Unit Training Assembly
(UTA) weekend, and the Unit Career Advisors also brief their unit
members on the program’s requirements. The ROM also stated she
did not recall speaking to the applicant prior to his retirement
about Post 9/1 GI Bill and had no documentation of a separation.
Upon further research, the ROM was able to obtain a copy of the
applicant’s retirement out-processing checklist, dated 3 December
2011 showing the applicant did out process through her office.
The applicant did not transfer Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to his
dependents prior to his retirement date as defined in Public Law
No. 110-252. Therefore, based on guidance A1Y recommends denial.
The A1Y complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

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
applicant’s 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.
