RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04557 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: She be allowed to transfer her Post-9/11 GI Bill Educational Benefits to her dependents. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She should be approved for Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) since she is separating due to High Year Tenure (HYT). The AFPC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), states that the TEB benefits will continue if the failure to complete the four year commitment is due to HYT. AFI 36-2306, Voluntary Education Programs, states she has to commit to four years and agree to serve the maximum amount of time allowed by statute or policy. She has served the maximum allowed time of eight years. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 1 February 2015, the applicant was released from active duty in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA, E-4) with a narrative reason for separation of “Reduction in Force.” She was credited with 7 years, 11 months and 26 days of active service. Transferability of Unused Education Benefits to Family Members. Subject to the provisions of DoDI 1341.13, Post-9/11 GI Bill, the Secretary concerned, to promote recruitment and retention in the Uniformed Services, may permit an individual eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance to elect to transfer to one or more of his or her family members all or a portion of his or her entitlement to such assistance. Per DoDI 1341.13 and AFI 36-2306, Voluntary Education Programs, Atch 9, any service member on or after 1 August 2009, who is entitled to the Post-9/11 GI Bill at the time of the approval of his or her request to transfer that entitlement under this section, may transfer that entitlement provided he or she has at least six years of service in the Military Services (active duty or Selected Reserve), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA) Corps, or Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS) on the date of approval and agrees to serve four additional years in the Military Services, NOAA Corps, or PHS from the date of election. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPTT recommends denial. The applicant cannot meet eligibility criteria for approval under the TEB program as required by law and instruction. The applicant retains full individual eligibility (36 months) for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. In order to be eligible for TEB, a member must have at least six years of service in the Armed Forces on the date of application and agree to serve four additional years from the date of the request or have at least 10 years of service in the Armed Forces and on the date of application and is precluded by policy or statute from committing to four additional years of service and agrees to serve for the maximum amount of time allowed by such policy or statute. The applicant while having six years of service cannot agree to the four year Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC) because of the HYT policy for SrA. This applicant also does not have 10 qualifying years of service. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPTT 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 26 January 2015 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 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.
