AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 

 

DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-01856 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
    
 
_______________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his 
dependents.   
 
_______________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He  was  not  informed  of  the  Post  9/11  GI  Bill  Transfer  of 
Education  Benefits  (TEB)  program  during  his  attendance  at  the 
Transition  Assistance  Program  (TAP).    He  was  unaware  that  an 
election must take place while still serving on active duty.   
 
The  applicant  does  not  provide  any  evidence  in  support  of  his 
appeal.   
 
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 
 
_______________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  is  a  former  member  of  the  Regular  Air  Force  who 
was  released  from  active  duty  effective  31  July  2010,  in  the 
grade  of  technical  sergeant  (E-6),  and  retired  effective 
1 August 2010.   
 
The  remaining  relevant  facts,  extracted  from  the  applicant’s 
military  service  records,  are  contained  in  the  evaluation  by 
the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit B.  
 
_______________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSIT  recommends  denial.    DPSIT  states  the  applicant 
received pre-separation counseling on 6 May 2010.  He indicated 
on his pre-separation form that he did not want counseling for 
education benefits prior to his retirement.  There is no record 
of  the  applicant  applying  for  the  benefit  in  TEB  or  any  Right 
Now Technologies records.   
 

  

  

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  25  June  2012,  for  review  and  comment  within 
30 days (Exhibit C).  As of this date, this office has received 
no 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 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.
