                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  97-03617

      XXXXXX     COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXX     HEARING DESIRED: No


Applicant requests the Meritorious Service Medal, Third Oak Leaf Cluster,
(MSM with 3OLCs) reflected on his DD Form 214, be added to  his  military
records.  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.  It appears that a typographical error  was
made on the DD Form 214, Block 13, Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations
and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized, indicating the award  of  the
MSM with 3 OLCs.  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 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 Ms. Charlene M. Bradley, Mr. Terry A.  Yonkers,  Dr.
Gerald B. Kauvar considered this application on 14 May 1998 in accordance
with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and  the  governing
statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
