AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

JUL  1 4  1998 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  9 7 - 0 3 3 2 3  
COUNSEL:  None 

HEARING DESIRED:  No 

Applicant  requests  his  DD  Form  2 1 4 ,   Certificate  of  Release  or 
Discharge from Active Duty, Block 26, be corrected by adding the 
Security Police Occupational Badge  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 
The  advisory  opinion  was 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C ) .  
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 opinions 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 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. 

Members of  the Board Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr. Frederick R. 
Beaman 111, and Mr. Steven A. Shaw considered this application on 
7  July  1 9 9 8 ,   in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force 
Instruction 3 6 - 2 6 0 3   and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1 5 5 2 .

MEMORANDUM FOR" SAF/MIBR 
FROM:  HQ AFPCDPSFC 

SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Records - 

Randolph AFB TX 78 150-4739  C 

Requested Action:  The applicant requests he be credited for the award of the  Security 

Police(SP) Occupational Badge. 

Basis for Request:  The appIicant contends that he is authorized wear of the SP badge 
that he earned while in the Air Force.  When he separated it was not annotated on his DD Form 
214. 

Discussion:  The primary requirement for the SP badge was to have served in the career 
field and formally awarded the badge.  This award would have been documented with an order 
signed by the unit commander.  The member cites Air Force Instruction 36-2923, Aeronautical, 
Duty, Occupational Badges, as authority for this award.  Unfortunately, the provisions of this 
instruction do not apply to his situation, since the member separated prior to the publishing of the 
instruction.  Provisions contained in AFI 36-2923 are not retroactive. 

Facts:  After thorough review of the individuals records, we did not find any 

documentation certifying eligibility for this badge to be awarded.  Additionally, the certificates 
and Air Force Instruction provided do not in themselves establish eligibility.  If the member can 
produce a document awarding them the Security Police badge we would be able to recommend 
correction to the DD 214. 

Recommendation:  After reviewing the members records,  we do not recommend the 

SP  badge be put on the DD Form 214.
