2. The applicant requests that his student loans be paid under the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP).
3. The applicant states that the Board’s previous correction of his reenlistment date did not result in his student loans being paid under the SLRP.
4. The applicant’s military records show that, on 1 March 2000, the Board corrected his military records to show that he reenlisted in the USAR on 20 February 1999 instead of 29 September 1999. The error, which was corrected, was caused by calculating the applicant's Reserve obligation termination date based on the date he entered on active duty, instead of his enlistment in the Army Reserve Delayed Entry Program (DEP).
5. On 7 February 2002, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) informed the US Army Reserve Command that since the Board only approved changing the applicant's date of reenlistment, it could not pay his loans under the SLRP.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. At the time of the Board’s 1 March 2000 decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the applicant’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time he reenlisted. The Board had intended for the applicant’s reenlistment contract, including addenda, to be corrected to show that they were signed on 20 February 1999.
2. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by:
a. correcting all the addenda to the DD Form 4 the individual concerned signed on 29 September 1999, including his DA Form 5261-4-R, Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum, to show that he signed those forms on 20 February 1999; and
b. paying his student loans in accordance with the terms of the corrected DA Form 5261-4-R.

The applicant states that she initiated a SLRP contract for $20,000.00 as indicated in the DA Form 5261-4-R (Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum) she includes with her application. In a 30 May 2001 memorandum the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) Office at Fort McCoy stated that although the applicant’s DA Form 5261-4-R was executed with an entitlement of $20,000, she was only eligible for a $10,000 entitlement and payments would be made for that entitlement. The applicant...

The applicant requests payment of his student loans per his 2010 California Army National Guard (CAARNG) Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) contract. He signed a Selected Reserve ARNG SLRP incentive addendum on 9 April 2010 with the CAARNG.

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: That her records be corrected to show that she was eligible for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). While it is unfortunate she was led to believe she qualified for the SLRP, to grant the applicant’s request would be giving her a benefit not available to other reservists with non-qualifying MOS’s who were properly not given a SLRP addendum...

However, there is no evidence the applicant submitted a DD Form 2475 upon completion of his first year of service (i.e., on 1 November 2006) to request loan repayment. However, the evidence of record also shows the applicants student loan had been paid in full as of 12 February 2007. The evidence of record also shows that repayment of a portion of the qualifying loan will be made after each complete satisfactory year of service performed under the SLRP agreement by the individual.
