APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She was not briefed when she was discharged that there was a time limit on using her MGIB. She paid the required monthly allotments and therefore she should be eligible. When the applicant was discharged, with a general discharge her briefing only took fifteen minutes. It was during this time that she recalled how easily the military was willing to sacrifice her military career after she put her life on the line for her country. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 26 Jan 95. On 8 Jul 98, the applicant was furnished a general discharge, and was credited with 3 years, 5 months, and 13 days of active service.

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 United States Code, Section 38, states a member only has ten years after an Honorable separation or retirement to utilize Chapter 30 benefits. This is reinforced on the DD Form 2366, Montgomery GI Bill Act of 1984, signed by the member on 28 February 1995, as follows: c. All OTHER SERVICE MEMBERS (8) I must use the MGIB within 10 years of release/discharge from active duty or completion of Selective Reserve obligation if qualifying under paragraph (6). 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 Jun 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.
