AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
HEARING DESIRED: NO
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01684
COUNSEL: NONE
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his
son.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was on stop-loss for 2 years after September 11th and
qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. When he out processed in
January 2003, the conditions of the transfer of benefits were
not yet put into place. Once he learned he could transfer his
benefits, he elected to transfer the benefits to his son to
allow him the opportunity to graduate from college. He recently
learned he had to be on active duty to transfer the benefits.
Due to his separation prior to the Post-9/11 GI Bill inception,
he was not afforded the opportunity to transfer his benefits to
his son.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who was
honorably discharged on 16 January 2003.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. The member separated January
2003. The transfer of benefits program started 1 August 2009,
therefore, he was not eligible for the program. There was no
injustice to the extent the member was not properly counseled
regarding the program.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 19 June 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not time; however, it is in the interest
of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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.
