benefits to his dependent daughter.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami events while assigned to
Yokota Air Base, Japan, he overlooked transferring his education
benefits during outprocessing, as a result of being busy
supporting an humanitarian effort.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 25 Jul 88, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 5 Jul 11, the applicant received his preseparation counseling
indicating he received education benefits counseling.
On 1 Sep 11, the applicant retired from active duty and was
credited with 23 years, 1 month and 6 days of total active
service.
Transferability of Unused Education Benefits to Family Members.
Subject to the provisions of DoDI 1341.13, Post-9/11 GI Bill,
the Secretary concerned, to promote recruitment and retention in
the Uniformed Services, may permit an individual eligible for
Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance to elect to transfer to
one or more of his or her family members all or a portion of his
or her entitlement to such assistance. For individuals eligible
for retirement on 1 Aug 09, such as the applicant, no additional
service is required.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. There is no evidence the
applicant ever applied for Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB)
through the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), therefore, his
eligibility cannot be determined. According to the DMDC
application, there is no record the applicant applied for TEB at
any time, nor did he inquire with the Total Force Service Center
(TFSC) regarding TEB, until 14 Mar 14. In accordance with AFI
36-2306, Voluntary Education Program, Attachment 9, A9.18.1.4.1,
based on the applicants TAFMSD, he would have incurred no
additional service obligation with TEB approval. Without a
request, a TEB application cannot be approved.
The complete 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 9 Sep 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
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.
