The applicant states that he was on active duty on 1 June 1974 and has never received a reenlistment bonus from either the Army or the Navy. In the absence of evidence to show that he did in fact receive a bonus and in light of the fact that he was eligible to receive the RRB, the applicant should be paid the RRB beginning with his 3-year reenlistment on 2 August 1989 and any subsequent reenlistments, until such time as his RRB entitlements are exhausted. RECOMMENDATION : That all of the...

The applicant states that her [enlistment] contract indicates that all her college loans would be repaid, including her Gate and signature loans; however, this was not the case. • A copy of her 15 November 2002 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), and a copy of reassignment orders directing her discharge on that date because of her physical disability. • Copy of a Gate student loan application and multi-disbursement notes.

The applicants military records show that he reenlisted in the Regular Army on 5 May 1972. He concluded by essentially stating that it would appear to him that sufficient documentation to provide he did not receive an RRB was provided by him because none of his DD Forms 214 indicate payment of an RRB. The applicant was both a Recruiter and a Finance Specialist during his career in the Army and he did not provide LESs which conclusively show that he was not paid an RRB.

It opined, in effect, that the applicant was on active duty on 1 June 1974 and therefore was entitled to receive a RRB of up to $2,000.00 beginning with his first reenlistment and subsequent reenlistments until such time as the maximum amount had been paid. In the absence of evidence to show he received an RRB and in light of the determinations from the PERSCOM and the DFAS that the applicant was eligible to receive the RRB, the applicant should be paid the RRB for his 2-year reenlistment...
ARMY | BCMR | CY1995 | 9511824C070209

By regulation, Army Guidance Counselors are required to verify that a member enlisting for the LRP has qualifying loans and to advise those members if any loan is not eligible for repayment.
