AIR FORCE BOARD FOR  CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF  PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-01 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  his  records  be  corrected  to  reflect 
service in Vietnam  and award of  all decorations to which he  is 
entitled.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request 
and  provided  advisory  opinions  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinions were 
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 opinions 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. Henry C. Saunders, Ms.  Ann L. Heidig, 
and Ms. Sophie A. Clark considered this application on 10 Dec 98 
in accordance with  the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction 36- 
2603 and the governing statute, 10 U . S . C .   1552.  /

those pertaining to service in Vietnam.
