STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 16 Feb 2012, the Board considered and denied a similar 
appeal. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale of the 
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit F (with Exhibits A through E). 

 

In an undated letter, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration. The applicant contends he had more than 
23 days boots on ground time in Korea. He deployed to Osan AFB, 
South Korea as part of an alert and did not have orders. He 
also provided a letter from a former airman who was stationed 
with him in Japan. The airman stated that he remembered the 
applicant deploying to Osan AB, Korea a few days after Christmas 
in 1968 and returned in Feb 1969. He deployed a second time in 
Apr 1969 and returned the last week of May 1969. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement and a letter from a former airman supporting his 
claim. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit G.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided 
in support of his appeal, it remains the opinion of the Board 
that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof 
that he has been the victim of an error or injustice. The Board 
carefully considered the statement provided by the applicant’s 
neighbor at the time; however, the Board did not find the 
evidence sufficiently persuasive to award the KDSM or the AFEM. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
