                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-01354
            INDEX NUMBER:  107.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests that he be awarded the Air Medal and the Vietnam
Service Medal.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

In his response to the advisory  opinion,  applicant  withdrew  his
request for the Air Medal (Exhibit E).

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).
Applicant's response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit E.

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  adequately  rebutted  by
applicant.  No evidence has  been  presented,  such  as  orders  or
travel  vouchers,  showing  that  the  applicant  was  a  regularly
assigned crew member or to which country in Southeast Asia  he  was
TDY, or the  inclusive  periods.   In  the  absence  of  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 applicant's case is adequately documented and it has  not  been
shown that a personal  appearance  with  or  without  counsel  will
materially  add  to  our  understanding  of  the  issues  involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

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. Douglas J. Heady, Mr.  Clarence  D.  Long
III, and Ms. Marcia J. Bachman, considered this application on
2 November 1999, in accordance with the  provisions  of  Air  Force
Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
