AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01399
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The effective date of his transfer of education benefits (TEB)
to the Post 9/11 GI Bill be changed from 13 Apr 12 to 11 Jan 11.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has attempted to submit his TEB Statement of Understanding
(SOU) since 11 Jan 11. He was advised that his previous
attempts are reflected in the Right Now Technology (RNT) system.
There have been multiple issues with his office’s exchange mail
server. He did not realize that his TEB SOU was not delivered
to the appropriate website.
The applicant did not provide any documentation in support of
his request.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade
of technical sergeant.
On 9 Apr 12, the applicant completed a TEB SOU and his TEB was
approved effective 13 Apr 12.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states the notes in RNT
seem to indicate the applicant never attempted to follow through
with signing the SOU. On 1 Feb 11, the applicant was given an
email address to sign and return the SOU. On 23 Feb 11, he
stated he would fax the SOU on that day. On 10 Mar 11, the
applicant called and stated he had faxed the SOU but had not
heard anything from the Total Force Service Center. The
applicant was told to email the signed SOU to AFPC. On
7 Apr 11, the applicant was notified that his application for
TEB had expired because he never submitted the signed SOU.
The complete DPSIT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 May 12 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant’s complete 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 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.

The complete AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B. He believes his ADSC should be 9 June 2015 based on his original intent for the TEB and the fact that he did not receive an email concerning the SOU and an expired TEB application. We note the applicant’s assertion that he suffered an injustice when he did not receive an email concerning the SOU and an expired TEB application; however, he has not provided sufficient evidence to support that he was treated any differently than other...

On 6 Mar 13, the applicant requested an extension of his enlistment to 14 Aug 16 (his HYT date) for the purpose of qualifying to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, which was approved on 3 Apr 13. While he has since been promoted to master sergeant, at the time he tried to transfer his TEB he was serving in the grade of technical sergeant with a HYT date of 14 Aug 16, thus making him ineligible to serve for an additional four years. Furthermore, in accordance with AFI 36-2306 the...

The SOU clearly states the member would incur a service obligation period of four years and the ADSC will be updated in the member’s record effective from the date of application in the DMDC TEB website. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission to include his rebuttal statement 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...

He submitted an application for the TEB on 13 March 2011 at which point he thought the application process was complete. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicants military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B. Without the signing of an SOU there is no way the TFSC has any idea the applicant wants the obligated four year ADSC that goes along with the transfer of the benefit.
