                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO.:  99-00503
                       INDEX CODE:  107.00

                       COUNSEL:  NONE

                       HEARING DESIRED:  NO


The applicant requests a DD Form 215 be issued  correcting  his  original
separation document, effective 9 Oct 45.  Applicant requests the DD  Form
215 reflect the Good Conduct Medal, Marksmanship Badge with  Pistol  Bar,
Air Crew Member Aviation Badge,  and  Aircraft  Maintenance  Badge.   The
applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

Applicant’s Report of Separation  already  reflects  award  of  the  Good
Conduct Medal  and  Marksmanship  Badge  with  Pistol  Bar.   AFPC/DPPRRC
administratively  corrected  the  applicant’s  Report  of  Separation  to
reflect receipt of the Aircrew Member Badge.  Therefore, the  only  issue
remaining for the  Board’s  consideration  is  the  Aircraft  Maintenance
Badge/Aircraft and Munitions  Maintenance  Badge.   The  appropriate  Air
Force office evaluated applicant's  remaining  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(s) appear to be based on the evidence of record and have
not been adequately rebutted  by  applicant/counsel.   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 David Mulgrew, Mr. William H. Anderson,  and  Mr.
Mike Novel, considered this application on 9  May,  2000,  in  accordance
with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603  and  the  governing
statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

    At the time of the applicant's service, the Aviation Badge was called the Aircraft Crewman Badge and would not have been abbreviated as shown on his DD Form 214.

As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a. voiding the 28 January 2004 DD Form 215; b. deleting the entire award entries from item...
