RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00147 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his dependents. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was not informed that he had to transfer the Post-9/11 GI Bill to his dependents while on active duty. He should be allowed to transfer the benefits because he worked for the Air Force for 20 years and should still, being retired, be able to transfer those benefits to his spouse or children. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant retired from the Air Force on 1 October 2011 in the grade of master sergeant. He was credited with 20 years and 25 days of active duty service. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. The applicant applied for retirement effective 15 December 2010 and on 5 March 2011 was approved for retirement with an effective date of 30 September 2011. There is no record in the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) that the applicant applied for the transfer of benefits; therefore, no eligibility can be established. According to current law and regulation, the applicant would have incurred an additional 3 years in the Air Force. Even if an effective date of 1 August 2009 was used, the applicant could not have satisfied the required 3 year obligation as required by law and regulation. The complete 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 15 September 2014 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 available evidence of record and 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 and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim or an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to grant the relief sought in this application. 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.
