AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

JON  2 3 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  9 8 - 0 0 6 7 3  : COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  he  be  awarded  the  Air  Force  Overseas 
Short Tour Ribbon.  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 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, Mr. David  C. Van  Gasbeck, Mr.  Thomas  S. 
Markiewicz,  and  Mr.  Michael  P.  Higgins  considered  this 
application on 17 June 1998,  in accordance with the provisions of 
Air  Force  Instruction  3 6 - 2 6 0 3 ,   and  the  governing  statute,  10 
U.S.C. 1552.
