RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05440

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her records be corrected to allow her to participate in the 
Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement – United 
States Air Force, does not have the right statement regarding her 
eligibility to apply for the ECLRP. 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 9 May 06, the applicant commenced her enlistment in the Regular 
Air Force.  

On 9 May 06, the applicant initialed the AF Form 3008, 
acknowledging she was briefed on the CLRP and either did not meet 
the program requirements, elected not to participate and that her 
initial enlistment was the only opportunity to enroll in the 
program and she was permanently waiving her option to enroll in 
the program. 

ECLRP is an enlistment incentive that is a contractual agreement.  
Specific promises of performance by the Air Force and the member 
for ECLRP consideration are contained in the contractual agreement 
annexed to the enlistment contract.

On 10 Apr 14, the applicant reenlisted for a period four years.  
She is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of 
staff sergeant (E-5).

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  The ECLRP is a recruiting incentive 
offered at enlistment and is documented on the AF Form 3008.  
Under ECLRP the Air Force agrees to pay one-third or $3,333.33 per 
year of outstanding qualifying federal student loan balances.  The 
payments are made in three annual installments and the maximum 
repayment amount is $10,000 less federal income taxes.  The ECLRP 
in only valid during the service member’s initial enlistment and 
the applicant initialed her AF Form 3008 declining to participate 
in the program.  The applicant has since reenlisted, is no longer 
eligible to participate in the program, and has brought forth no 
evidence of an error on behalf of the government.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 21 Jan 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.


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 an 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 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
