RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03368
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record be corrected to reflect that he made his Post-9/11 GI
Bill Transfer of Educational benefits to his dependents in
Aug 09.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He requested Transfer of Educational Benefits (TEB) to his
dependents, in Aug 09; however, in Feb 11, he was checking the
status of his request and realized the transaction did not take
in the system. He does not understand why the update did not
take at the time, but, would like to give each child a
percentage of the TEB and believes this might have been what
caused the error.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Regular
Air Force with a projected retirement date of 30 Nov 13.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial, noting the applicant provides no
evidence of an application in Aug 09. The first application
reflected in the TEB system is on 31 Jan 11. The Total Force
Service Center (TFSC) sent an email to the applicant on
1 Feb 11 to complete the Statement of Understanding (SOU). To
date, he has not completed a SOU. He also stated in the Right
Now Technology (RNT) that he did not want to incur the ADSC that
signing the SOU would bring as he wanted to retire in 2013.
Incurrence and service of that ADSC is required to utilize TEB
per AFI 36-2306, A9.18.1.1.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 Jan 13, a new DD Form 149 was received from the applicant,
indicating that he had not received any help from the Air Force
Personnel Center (AFPC) other than informing him that he will
incur another four-year ADSC.
He does not have proof of his submission in Aug 09; however, he
can provide witness statements, if needed. The bottom line is
that he intended for this action to be initiated in Aug 09. He
has found out the Army and Navy does not require a four-year
ADSC and is prepared to seek congressional assistance.
Additionally, he requested a personal hearing (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. We note the applicant
states that he initiated the TEB in Aug 09 and does not have
proof of this submission. However, without substantial evidence
to support his contentions we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

While you may revoke your transfer at any time, a revocation DOES NOT automatically cancel the associated ADSC, even if benefits have not been used; (2) AFPC WILL NOT prorate ADSCs for members who have used any part of their VA educational benefits." ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant notes he is aware revoking his TEB does not necessarily relieve him of the ADSC incurred by the TEB.
