		COUNSEL:  NONE
                    		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be allowed to accomplish a Post-9/11 GI Bill transfer of 
educational benefits (TEB) to his daughter.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He never signed or declined paperwork for his Post-9/11 GI Bill 
TEB before he retired.  

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 
retired on 1 July 2010.  

For those members eligible for retirement after 1 August 2009, 
and before 1 August 2010, one year additional service is 
required in order to utilize TEB benefits.  

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 C. 

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial.  DPSIT states the applicant did 
not provide adequate justification or documentation.  He 
received a pre-separation briefing counseling on 21 September 
2009, prior to retirement on 1 July 2010.  He indicated on his 
Department of Defense Form 2648, Pre-separation Counseling 
Checklist for Active Component Service Members, that he did not 
want counseling for educational benefits prior to his 
retirement.  There is also no record of him applying for the 
benefit in the Transfer of Education Benefits or Right Now 
Technology systems.  

The complete DPSIT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 24 February 2013, 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.  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.
