AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
HEARING DESIRED: NO
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01685
COUNSEL: NONE
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to accomplish a Post 9/11 GI Bill transfer of
education benefits (TEB) to his dependents.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes he was not informed of the requirements to transfer
education benefits while he was still in service.
The applicant did not provide any documents in support of his
request.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to documents extracted from the Automated Records
Management System (ARMS), the applicant contracted his initial
enlistment in the Air National Guard (ANG) on 13 September 1997.
He was progressively promoted to the grade of master sergeant,
(E-7), with an effective date of rank and pay grade of
5 April 2007. He separated from the ANG on 5 August 2009 and
was credited with 12 years of total service for retired pay.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1YR recommends denial. A1YR states that Directive-Type
Memorandum (DTM) 09-003- Post 9/11 GI Bill dated, 22 June 2009,
change 2, dated 14 September 2011, attachment 2, paragraph
3.a.(1) establishes “eligible individuals as any member of the
Armed Forces on or after August 1, 2009, who, at the time of
approval of the individual’s request to transfer entitlement to
educational assistance under this section, is eligible for the
Post 9/11 GI Bill, and has at least 6 years of service in the
Armed Forces (active/and or Selected Reserve) on the date of
election and agrees to serve 4 additional years in the Armed
Forces from the date of election.” The applicant was not
retirement eligible and based on his date of separation from the
ANG, he would have incurred a 4-year service obligation to be
eligible for TEB to his dependents.
The complete NGB/A1YR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
NGB/A1PS recommends denial. A1PS states they concur with the
NGB/A1YR advisory and do not recommend approval of the
applicant’s request to accomplish a Post 9/11 GI Bill transfer
of education benefits to his dependents.
The complete NGB/A1PS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 16 July 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). To 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. After a thorough
review of the evidence of record and applicant's submission, we
believe that relief is not warranted in this case. Therefore, we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force offices
of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice. In view of the above and 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
2
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.
