BOARD DATE: 29 September 2011 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110012513 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). 2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any). THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests a manual control number (MNC) in order to receive the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) incentive. 2. The applicant states that due to no fault of her own, the MCN was built under the wrong social security number (SSN). Prior to her one-year anniversary, she informed her unit about the SLRP and was informed that the unit had not received anything on her behalf. It was later discovered that the MNC was built under the wrong SSN and she will not receive the incentive unless it is corrected. 3. The applicant provides a DD Form 1966 (Record of Military Processing), email messages, and memoranda dated 14 December 2010 and 25 February 2011. CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant enlisted in the Army National Guard (ARNG) on 2 October 2009 for a period of 8 years. 2. Section VI (Remarks) of her DD Form 1966 indicates she understood that she was eligible for the SLRP and that she accepted the SLRP. 3. An Information Management and Reporting Center (iMARC) screen printout shows that an SLRP control number was built under an incorrect SSN. 4. A memorandum for record, dated 1 September 2010, shows that she was to be accepted into the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) upon contracting into the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). 5. Boone National Guard Center, Frankfort, KY, Orders Number 292-854, dated 19 October 2010, promoted her to sergeant. The additional instructions on these orders indicate that she was to wear the SMP insignia with the title of Cadet. 6. In a memorandum dated 14 December 2010, the National Guard Bureau (NGB) informed the Kentucky Army National Guard (KYARNG) that the request for an exception to policy for the SLRP MNC pertaining to the applicant was returned without action because promissory notes and disbursement statements were not submitted with her SLRP packet. 7. In a memorandum dated 25 February 2011, the NGB informed the KYARNG that the request for an exception to policy for the SLRP MNC pertaining to the applicant was denied because the request was not submitted by the established deadline of 30 September 2010. 8. There is no evidence showing that she completed a DA Form 5261-4-R (SLRP Addendum) and there is no information pertinent to the review of promissory notes and/or determination as to the qualification of existing loans for repayment under the SLRP. 9. Army Regulation 135-7 (ARNG and Army Reserve Incentive Programs), chapter 5.1 authorizes student loan repayment for qualified Selected Reserve enlisted personnel. This incentive is offered to qualifying non-prior, prior, and in- service personnel on signing a contractual agreement for a specified term of service in the Selected Reserve and executing a DA Form 5261-4-R between 1 October 1980 and 30 September 1981 and 1 October 1982 until rescinded. 10. Paragraph 5-1.6 of this regulation states that entitlement to the SLRP will stop if the Soldier is enrolled as a cadet in an officer training program. 11. Section VII (Termination) of the DA Form 5261-4-R states that entitlement to loan repayment under the SLRP will be terminated if the Soldier becomes a participant in the ROTC SMP. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. The applicant's request for an MNC in order to receive the SLRP incentive has been carefully reviewed. 2. Evidence shows that she is currently a participant in the ROTC SMP. As a result, she is not entitled to participation in the SLRP. Additionally, no information was provided in reference to qualifying loans under the SLRP prior to the applicant becoming a member of the ROTC. 3. Based on the above, there is no basis to grant the requested relief.
