                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-01359
            INDEX CODE:  107

            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  No

Applicant requests his Air Medal (AM) for  actions  on  18 Jan  91  be
upgraded  to  the  Distinguished  Flying  Cross  (DFC).    Applicant's
submission is at Exhibit A.

As noted by the Air Staff, in their  advisory  opinion  of  22 Jun  99
(Exhibit C), applicant’s  request  for  the  DFC  for  service  during
Operation Desert Storm had already been considered by Headquarters ACC
(as reflected by the letter from AFPC/DPPP, dated 27 Oct 97),  on  two
occasions and denied both times.  We note that Headquarters ACC served
as the final approval/disapproval authority on all recommendations for
aerial decorations during the Persian Gulf war,  in  order  to  ensure
equity in awarding decorations.

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.  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. Thomas S. Markiewicz, Mr. Joseph A. Roj,  and
Ms. Dorothy P. Loeb considered this application on 26 October 1999  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction  36-2603,  and
the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
