RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04385 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His records be corrected to show he was enrolled in the Enlisted College Loan Repayment Program (ECLRP), effective 15 Aug 10. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Section E of the Air Force form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement, was mistakenly annotated to show he had been briefed on the ECLRP program and had elected not to participate, thereby waiving his rights to any further participation consideration. He was not briefed on the program and his recruiter and liaison were aware that participation in the ECLRP was the main reason for his enlistment. The section was initialed as a result of misunderstanding or in haste. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of senior airman (E-4). The applicant signed the Air Force form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement, on 10 Nov 09, which included a statement in Section E of the form which indicates, “I have been briefed on the College Loan Repayment Program (CLRP) and either do not meet the program requirements, or elect not to participate. I understand my initial enlistment is the only opportunity to enroll in the CLRP and I permanently waive my CLRP enrollment option.” The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. The ECLRP is a recruitment incentive open to eligible first-time enlistees having federally-insured student loans. The applicant’s AF Form 3008 was initialed and signed that he understood he was waiving his right to enrollment in the ECLRP. He has not provided further documentation to support a reversal of his enrollment status nor has he provided evidence to indicate he was a victim of a government error or injustice. DSIT’s complete 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 6 Jan 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by the applicant. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to which he was entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. ________________________________________________________________ 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-04385 in Executive Session on 6 Feb 12, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
