                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-01520

            INDEX NUMBER:  107.00



            COUNSEL:  NONE


            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests that he be awarded the  Airman’s  Medal  for  an
event that occurred in November 1962.  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 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.
Specifically,  without  information  from  the   members   of   the
applicant’s  former  chain  of  command,  we  do   not   find   the
uncorroborated statements of the applicant and the former Utilities
Officer and Interim Commander provide an adequate  basis  that  his
actions did, in fact, meet  the  criteria  for  the  award  of  the
Airman’s Medal or that if a recommendation had been submitted in  a
timely manner, it would have been approved.  Accordingly,  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, Messrs. Henry Romo Jr., Patrick  R.  Wheeler,
and Laurence M. Groner, considered this application  on  21 October
1999, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-
2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
