RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00229
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Block 15c, Enlisted Under Loan Repayment Program, be
changed to reflect 3 rather than 4.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement, Block E,
Remarks, indicates the loan repayment program requires three
years of successful active duty service in order to receive the
full benefit and his DD Form 214 should be changed accordingly.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP) is a
recruiting incentive offered at enlistment and is documented on
the AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement. Under
ECLRP, the Air Force agrees to pay one-third or $3,333.33 per
year of outstanding qualifying federal student loan balance.
The payments are made in three annual installments and the
maximum repayment amount is $10,000 less federal income taxes.
On 19 Aug 08, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force
for a period of four years.
The applicants AF Form 3008, dated 19 Aug 08, states, in part,
repayment for the CLRP will be made only after each successful
year of active duty (over a 3-year period) that I perform
commencing on the date of my enlistment in the Air Force.
On 18 Sep 13, the applicant was honorably discharged and
credited with five years and one month of active service. Block
15c of his DD Form 214 reflects four years.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The applicant elected to participate
in ECLRP as part of his enlistment contract. The repayment of
his loan was made annually after each successful year of active
duty service (over a three year period) that he performed
commencing on the date of his enlistment. Irrespective of this
fact, Item 15c of his DD Form 214 correctly reflects that he
served four years, the period he ultimately served.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
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.
