RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS. IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01831 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His term of enlistment (TOE) be reduced from six years to four years. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His TOE should be reduced to four years because the enlistment documents he initially completed and signed were to serve in the Air Force for four years. His enlistment obligation was changed from four years to six years when he completed and signed documents guaranteeing him specialized technical training and a bonus upon completion of the training. However, due to circumstances beyond his control he was unable to complete the specialized training and was retrained into another career field and believes his TOE should revert back to four years. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of airman first class (A1C). According to documents submitted by the applicant, on 9 May 13, he signed a DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, to enroll in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) for four years. On 29 Oct 13, the applicant signed a DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing, to enlist in the Air Force (AF) as E1 for four years with no specific options. The form was amended to show he was enlisting as an E-1/6 YRS/1T231/0 1EB. On 29 Oct 13, an AF Form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement Non-Prior Service was completed stating the applicant was enlisting for six years as an E1 and would receive specialized training as a Pararescue Apprentice. On 29 Oct 13, by signing AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement, the applicant acknowledged that upon successful completion of specialized training as a Pararescue Apprentice he would be eligible for an enlistment bonus. On 20 Nov 13, the applicant signed an AF Form 3009, Change to Enlistment Agreement, acknowledging failure to maintain the qualifications under the specialized training Air Force Specialty would be grounds for recoupment of the enlistment bonus. 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/DPSIP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. There is not an option in the applicant’s enlistment documents or the governing instructions to change his initial TOE. The applicant’s decertification or disqualification does not relieve him of his original obligation to serve a six year TOE. The DD Form 4 stated “I request to be discharged from the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) and enlist in the Regular Component of the United States Air Force for a period of 6 years and 0 weeks.” His AF Form 3007 noted “I am enlisting in the Regular Air Force in pay grade E-1 for six years of active duty………. I further understand my TERM OF ENLISTMENT WILL NOT BE REDUCED IF I AM RECLASSED INTO ANOTHER AFS. Additionally, I understand that I may not apply for retraining into another AFS until I have completed 59 months of Active Duty”. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
