RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00492
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be changed in Block 15c, Enlisted Under Loan Repayment
Program (10 USC Chap 109) (If yes, years of commitment:--) to
reflect 0 and No rather than 3 and Yes.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She opted out of the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program
(ECLRP) upon enlisting in the Air Force, and instead enrolled in
the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB).
In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her
DD Form 214 and MGIB Basic Enrollment form.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 Feb 08, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
During her enlistment process she completed an AF Form 3008,
Supplement to Enlistment Agreement United States Air Force,
and initialed Block E (Remarks) acknowledging her understanding
that to qualify for the MGIB she must qualify for and enter a
second term of active duty enlistment (does not need to be
consecutive term) to complete MGIB eligibility or she would
forfeit her MGIB contributions and eligibility.
On 19 Feb 08, she signed a DD Form 2366, MGIB Act of 1984,
electing to enroll in the MGIB. Based on this election, she was
enrolled in the MGIB program and $100 was reduced from her pay
for 12 months to comply with the requirements of the Law.
The applicants enlistment contract includes the ECLRP incentive
statement, which she initialed.
On 11 Jan 13, the applicant was honorably separated and
transferred to the Air Force Reserve, after completion of her
first term of service. She served on active duty for 4 years
and 11 months.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends partial approval, that the applicants DD
Form 214, Block 15c, be corrected to reflect zero (0) or be left
blank. DPSIT states that the applicant provided no evidence to
support her claim that she opted out of the ECLRP. Her AF Form
3008, dated 12 Feb 08, indicates that she enlisted in the Air
Force with the ECLRP, and is valid. However, she was never
enrolled in the program because she did not provide their office
the required documents. Consequently, no payments were made to
her Federal student loans, if she had any.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 Mar 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to warrant partial relief. In
this respect, we note that AFPC/DPSIP recommends changing Block
15c (years of commitment 3 ) to 0 rather than 3 and we agree
with their recommendation. The applicant also requests that Block
15c be changed from Yes to No; however, as indicated by
AFPC/DPSID, the applicants AF Form 3008, dated 12 Feb 08
appropriately reflects that she enlisted in the Air Force with the
ECLRP. While the applicant states that she opted out of the
repayment program, she has not provided any evidence to support
her claim. In view of the above, we recommend the applicants
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
issued in conjunction with her 11 Jan 13 release from active
duty, be amended in Block 15c, Enlisted Under Loan Repayment
Program (10 USC Chap. 109)(If yes, years of commitment: 3__),
to reflect 0.
