AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DEC 0 8 7998 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00817 
COUNSEL:  None 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANTREOUESTS: 
His Certificate of Release or Discharge, DD Form 214, be amended, 
to reflect award of the Air Force Good Conduct Medal  (AFGCM). 
Examiner's  Note : 
In his  application, the applicant requested his DD Form  214 be 
amended to reflect the award of  the Airman's  Medal  (AmnM) I  Air 
Force Outstanding Unit Award  (AFOUA), and AFGCM.  A DD Form 215 
has been issued by AFPC amending the DD Form 214 to reflect the 
AmnM.  The applicant's  current DD Form 214 reflects award of the 
AFOUA . 

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or 
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at 
Exhibit A. 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from 
the  applicant's  military  records,  are  contained  in  the  letter 
prepared  by  the  appropriate  office  of  the  Air  Force. 
Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to  recite  these  facts  in  this 
Record of Proceedings. 

AIR FORCE E VALUATION : 
The  Recognition  Programs  Branch,  AFPC/DPPPRA,  reviewed  this 
,application and  states that  award  of  the AFGCM  requires  three 
years of  exemplary  service; however, he  served  less than  three 
years  and  is  not  eligible  for  the  AFGCM. 
Therefore ,  they 
recommend denial of his request for the AFGCM.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR  FORCE E V U U  ATION: 
The applicant reviewed the Air  Force evaluation and provided  a 
response which is attached at Exhibit E.

The applicant has exhausted a l l   remedies provided by existing 

HE BOARD CO NCLUDES THAT : 
1. 
law or regulations. 
2 .   The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 
3 .   Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate the existence of a probable error or injustice.  The 
Board is cognizant of the fact that award of the AFGCM requires 
three years of exemplary service and the applicant completed less 
than  the  required  three  years.  However,  given  the  fact  the 
applicant was discharged for hardship reasons only 3  months prior 
to being eligible for the AFGCM, and considering that he entered 
the  Air  Force  under  the  delayed  enlistment  program  and  had  7 
months and 2  days of prior inactive service, we believe it would 
be  unjust  to  deny  his  request.  Therefore, we  recommend  his 
records be corrected to the extent indicated below. 

THE BOARD RECOMM ENDS THAT: 
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the time of 
his separation from the Air Force on 13 June 1980, he was awarded 
the Air Force Good Conduct Medal as an exception to policy. 

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive Session
