discharge, he had fulfilled 37 months of a 72 month contract 
with an enlistment bonus entitlement of $15000.00. The 
applicant was paid $10,500.00 which left a debt of $2791.67 to

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

DFAS-IN recommends denial. The applicant voluntarily separated 
from the MOANG which requires recoupment of the unearned portion 
of this enlistment bonus. The applicant’s payments were posted 
on 10 Jan 07, for $7500.00, on 11 Jul 07 and 13 Jul 08 for 
$1500.00, with total payments of $10,500.00. Adjustment of 

 
entitlement due to early release from the ANG requires 
recoupment of bonus. 

 

The complete DFAS-IN evaluation is at 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 Defense Finance and Accounting Service and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
