RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05008

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected as follows:

1.  Block 14, Military Education, be corrected to add Korean 
Language (Administratively Resolved), Material Management 
Apprentice (Administratively Resolved).

2.  Block 15c, Enlisted Under Loan Repayment Program, be changed 
to reflect “No” instead of “Yes”.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her military training record is incomplete.  There is a two year 
gap between her basic military training and the material 
management career filed.  Also, she completed language training.  
She was never a part of the College Loan Repayment Program 
(CLRP) and paid into the Montgomery GI Bill.  Due to the error 
on her DD Form 214, she is unable to use her education benefits.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 
20 Jan 2009.

On 20 Jan 2009, the applicant initialed AF Form 3008, Supplement 
to Enlistment Agreement – United States Air Force, acknowledging 
she was briefed on the CLRP statement of understanding 
acknowledging the government would repay a designated portion of 
any guaranteed student loan provided she maintains the account 
in good standing.  Further, she initialed the Montgomery GI Bill 
(MGIB) statement of understanding acknowledging monthly monetary 
contributions and that she must qualify for and enter a second 
term of active duty or enlistment to complete MGIB eligibility 
or forfeit contributions and eligibility.    
The period of service used to repay CLRP benefits cannot be used 
to establish entitlement for the MGIB.  Individuals wanting to 
take advantage of both programs can have loans repaid during the 
first enlistment and establish MGIB eligibility during a second 
enlistment.  

On 1 Jun 14, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, 
and was credited with 5 years, 4 months, and 12 days of active 
service.   

On 17 Jun 15, AFPC/DPSIT verified the applicant’s entitlement to 
Korean Language training, Feb 2011 and Materiel Management 
Apprentice course, Aug 2011 and will administratively correct 
the record.  

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 applicant initialed and signed 
the AF Form 3008, Section E, Remarks, which indicated she 
enlisted with the Air Force under the CLRP.  However, during the 
time the member was active duty she did not participate in the 
CLRP.  There were no payments made to her federal student 
loan(s).  The entry in Block 15c, of the DD Form 214 is valid.

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 1 Jul 15 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 or injustice.  
While we acknowledge the applicant’s claim that she is unable to use her education benefits, we also acknowledge the OPR has 
provided a memorandum for the Department of Veterans Affairs as proof of her non-participation in the College Loan Repayment 
Program.  We further note the Air Force OPR has verified the applicant’s entitlement to completion of Korean Language 
Training and Material Management Apprentice, and will correct her records administratively.  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.
