RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03368 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His record be corrected to reflect that he made his Post-9/11 GI 
Bill Transfer of Educational benefits to his dependents in 
Aug 09. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He requested Transfer of Educational Benefits (TEB) to his 
dependents, in Aug 09; however, in Feb 11, he was checking the 
status of his request and realized the transaction did not take 
in the system. He does not understand why the update did not 
take at the time, but, would like to give each child a 
percentage of the TEB and believes this might have been what 
caused the error. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Regular 
Air Force with a projected retirement date of 30 Nov 13. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial, noting the applicant provides no 
evidence of an application in Aug 09. The first application 
reflected in the TEB system is on 31 Jan 11. The Total Force 
Service Center (TFSC) sent an email to the applicant on 
1 Feb 11 to complete the Statement of Understanding (SOU). To 
date, he has not completed a SOU. He also stated in the Right 
Now Technology (RNT) that he did not want to incur the ADSC that 
signing the SOU would bring as he wanted to retire in 2013. 
Incurrence and service of that ADSC is required to utilize TEB 
per AFI 36-2306, A9.18.1.1. 

 


The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 10 Jan 13, a new DD Form 149 was received from the applicant, 
indicating that he had not received any help from the Air Force 
Personnel Center (AFPC) other than informing him that he will 
incur another four-year ADSC. 

 

He does not have proof of his submission in Aug 09; however, he 
can provide witness statements, if needed. The bottom line is 
that he intended for this action to be initiated in Aug 09. He 
has found out the Army and Navy does not require a four-year 
ADSC and is prepared to seek congressional assistance. 

 

Additionally, he requested a personal hearing (Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 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 or injustice. We note the applicant 
states that he initiated the TEB in Aug 09 and does not have 
proof of this submission. However, without substantial evidence 
to support his contentions we find no basis to recommend 
granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) 
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
