RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-00488
		INDEX CODE:  128.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be reimbursed for premiums deducted from his pay for Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI) for the months of April 2001 to January 2003.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His records clearly state “I do not want insurance at this time.”  The fact that SGLI coverage was increased in April 2001 is absolutely no reason to initiate an SGLI policy in his name without notification and especially without his consent.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s is currently on active duty in the grade of second lieutenant, with an effective date and date of rank of 20 December 2002.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied due to lack of sufficient evidence to support the applicant’s claim.  On 7 March 2003, DPW sent the applicant a letter requesting additional information in order for them to sufficiently evaluate his claim and to make an appropriate recommendation.  The applicant did not respond to their letter.  The HQ AFPC/DPW evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 9 June 2003 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the appropriate Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.  In view of the above and absent evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting 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.
