RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01119
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement-United
States Air Force, be amended to reflect participation in the
Enlisted College Loan Repayment Plan (ECLRP).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her student loan balance would have qualified her for the ECLRP;
however, she was not informed of the benefits of the program and
emphasis was placed on the Montgomery GI Bill being a better
option. The lack of information on both programs resulted in her
not being afforded an opportunity to make an informed decision.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 Jun 2012, the applicant entered active duty.
The ECLRP is a recruiting incentive offered at enlistment and
enrollment is documented on the AF Form 3008. The Air Force
repays the lesser amount of one-third or $3,333.33 per year of
outstanding qualifying (federal) student loan balances. The
payments are made in three annual installments and the maximum
repayment amount is $10,000 less federal income taxes. The
ECLRP is valid only during a members initial enlistment.
On 19 Jun 2012, she initialed her AF Form 3008, indicating she
had been briefed on the program and either did not meet the
program requirements or elected not to participate. She
acknowledged she understood her initial enlistment was the only
opportunity to enroll and permanently waived her enrollment
option.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
DPSIT recommends denial. The applicant was afforded an
opportunity to complete an addendum to correct her enlistment
contract to show participation in the ECLRP but failed to return
the signed addendum. The addendum was forwarded to her on
14 Mar 2013 with instructions to initial, sign and return the
document to SAF/MRBR. She returned an initialed addendum but
failed to sign as required. On 19 Aug 2013, the applicant was
again requested to sign the addendum and no response was
received within the allotted time.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit F.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 24 Dec 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit G). As of this date, this office has not received a
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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
(OPR) that the applicant was afforded the opportunity to
complete an addendum to correct her enlistment contract to show
participation in the ECLRP and did not respond. Therefore, in
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend 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.
