AIR  FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  98-00169 
COUNSEL :  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

AUG 

l!M 

Applicant  requests that he be  awarded the Southwest 
Medal.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 

Asia 

Service 

request 
The  appropriate  Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's 
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 re-ceived 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 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  ar,  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members of the Board, Mr. Henry C. Saunders, Mr.  Dana J. Gilmour, 
and  Ms.  Ann  L.  Heidig  considered  this  application  on  18 August 
1998, in accordance with  the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction 
36-2603, and the governing statute, 10 U.);.C.
