RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  97-01841 m  COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  YES 

Applicant  requests that he be  awarded  the medal  designated for 
service in the Desert Storm War.  The applicant does not specify 
which award he is referring to  (The Southwest Asia Service Medal 
with  bronze  service  star(s) ,  Kuwait  Liberation  Medal  (Saudi 
Arabia, and/or  Kuwait Liberation Medal.  Applicant's submission 
is at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to  the  Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D) . 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
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  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

' 

' Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been 
shown  that  a  personal  appearance with  or without  counsel will 
materially  add  to  our  understanding  of  the  issue(s)  involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed.
