Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS)
indicates that the applicant retired in the grade of staff
sergeant because of disability under DVA Diagnostic Code 9 4 1 1
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) with a compensable rating of
30 percent, effective 11 Oct 95. He was credited with 7 months
and 2 6 days of active duty service and 6 years, 5 months, and
24 days of service for pay.
On 2 8 May 96, the Board considered and denied an application f o r
correction of military records pertaining to the applicant, in
which he requested that he be awarded the Purple Heart (see
AFBCMR 9 4 - 0 3 8 2 7 , with Exhibits A through F).
Applicant provided additional documentary evidence through his
congressman and requested reconsideration of his application
(Exhibit GI.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, we determined that there was insufficient
evidence to warrant any corrective action regarding the
applicant's request for award of the Purple Heart. We have
reviewed the applicant's most recent submission and find it
insufficient to warrant a reversal of our previous determination
in this case. While there may have been similarities between the
applicant's case and other individuals who were awarded the
Purple Heart, absent clear and convincing evidence that he met
the established criteria for award of the Purple Heart, we find
no basis to act favorably on the applicant's request.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
The following members of the Board considered this application in
Executive Session on 30 Jun 98, under the provisions of AFI 36-
2603 :
Ms. Charlene M. Bradley, Panel Chair
Dr. Gerald B. Kauvar, Member
Ms. Patricia D. Vestal, Member
The following additional documentary evidence was considered:
