APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His record be changed to correct an entry in the Awards and 
Decorations section of the Virtual Military Personnel Flight (V-
MPF) as well as show he is enrolled in the Serviceman’s Group 
Life Insurance (SGLI) program. 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Item number 15 of the Awards and Decorations section of his V-
MPF displays “Unknown Award” which should either be corrected or 
removed.  Further, the premium for $400,000 dollars worth of 
SGLI coverage is being deducted from his monthly pay, his record 
should show he is enrolled in the program.

In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided a copy of a 
military leave and earnings (LES) statement.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

sergeant and is currently a participating member of the TXANG. 
He has over 27 years of service for pay.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Air Reserve Personnel Center received this application for 
an advisory opinion on 5 June 2007 and has failed to provide 
one.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has not 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.  The 
applicant has not provided evidence of actions on his part to 
obtain the relief he seeks through the proper administrative 
channels.  While his concern over his record not reflecting 
participation in the SGLI program is understandable, as he has 
indicated, his leave and earnings statement does reflect his 
payment of premiums and should validate his participation. The 
AFBCMR process is not intended as a substitute for the proper 
utilization of established channels, such as the local military 
personnel flight for the type of corrections he seeks.  Until 
such time as he has exhausted all available administrative 
remedies, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief 
requested. 

________________________________________________________________
_

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
