AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00696 

COUNSEL : 
HEARING DESIRED:  No 

Applicant requests award of the Southwest Asia  Service Medal and 
all others due.  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/counsel  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  or 
counsel.  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.  Vaughn  E.  Schlunz,  Mr.  Richard  A. 
Peterson, and Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler  considered this application 
on  29 September  1998  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air 
Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 
1552.
