                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-02774

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The date of the special orders awarding him the Meritorious  Service  Medal,
Second Oak Leaf Cluster (MSM 2 OLC), be  amended  to  reflect  21  September
1998, and his  record,  to  include  the  MSM,  2  OLC,  be  considered  for
promotion by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for  the  Calendar  Year  1998C
Central Colonel Selection Board.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

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.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

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

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Awards  and  Decorations  Section,  AFPC/DPPPR,  and  the  Chief,
Promotion, Evaluation and  Recognition  Division,  AFPC/DPPP,  reviewed  the
application and recommend denial of the requested relief.

Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations are attached at Exhibits C  and
D.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law  or
regulations.

2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice. The Chief,  ANG  Chaplain  Service
has  provided  a  statement  indicating  that  a  recommendation   for   the
decoration was submitted on  the  applicant  in  September  1998,  with  the
intent that it would be approved and placed in  his  records  prior  to  the
CY98C board convening.  However, due  to  an  extensive  relocation  of  the
National Guard Bureau, the decoration tracking  system  was  lost,  and  the
recommendation  misplaced.   Based  on  this  statement,  it   appears   the
applicant’s rating chain made every effort  to  ensure  the  decoration  was
submitted within sufficient time to be approved prior to  the  CY98C  board,
and was in  fact,  advised  the  decoration  was  being  processed  and  the
applicant should expect official notification forthcoming. Since  the  delay
in the processing of the decoration was through no fault of  the  applicant,
and the applicant’s rating chain has indicated that it was their  intent  to
insure the decoration was placed in his records prior to  the  CY98C  board,
we believe  that  his  records,  to  include  the  MSM,  2  OLC,  should  be
considered for promotion to the grade of  colonel  by  a  Special  Selection
Board  for  the  Calendar  Year  1998C  Central  Colonel  Selection   Board.
Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected  to  the  extent  indicated
below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, to include the Meritorious  Service  Medal,  Second  Oak  Leaf
Cluster, awarded for  the  period  29  July  1995  to  14  August  1998,  be
considered for promotion to the grade of  colonel  by  a  Special  Selection
Board for the Calendar Year 1998C Central Colonel Selection Board.


The following members of the Board considered this application in  Executive
Session on 30 November 1999, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

                  Mr. Thomas S. Markiewicz, Panel Chair
                  Mr. Edward C. Koenig, III, Member
                  Mr. Gregory W. Den Herder, Member
                 Mr. Phillip E. Horton, Examiner (without vote)




All members voted to correct the records,  as  recommended.   The  following
documentary evidence was considered:

      Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 20 Oct 99, w/atchs.
      Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
      Exhibit C.  Letter, AFPC/DPPPR, dated 9 Nov 99, w/atch.
      Exhibit D.  Letter, AFPC/DPPP, dated 18 Nov 99.
      Exhibit E.  Letter, AFBCMR, dated 18 Nov 99.
