 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02707 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill educational 
benefits to his spouse. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

When he separated he was not given the option to convert his 
Montgomery GI Bill to the Post-9/11 GI Bill so that he could 
utilize the Transfer of Educational Benefits (TEB) for his 
spouse. 

 

The applicantÂ’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 27 Jan 09, the applicant was discharged from active duty with 
a reason for separation of completion of required active 
service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial, noting the applicant was separated 
effective 27 Jan 09. The program for the TEB started 1 Aug 09. 
Since 38 USC, Chapter 33, Section 3319 (f) (1) states "an 
individual... may transfer such entitlement only while serving 
as a member of the armed forces when the transfer is executed." 
They did not find any evidence of an injustice to the extent the 
applicant did not receive adequate counseling as required by law 
and DoD regulation. 

 

The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 Aug 12 for review and response. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). 

 


________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 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.
