                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-01301
            INDEX CODE: 107.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO


Applicant requests that his DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect that he  was
awarded the Kuwait  Liberation  Medial  (Saudi  Arabia),  Kuwait  Liberation
Medal (Kuwait), and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with  Valor  device
and 1 Oak Leaf Cluster.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

In regard to applicant’s request for correction  of  the  Kuwait  Liberation
Medal  (Saudi   Arabia)   and   Kuwait   Liberation   Medal   (Kuwait),   an
administrative correction was made to reflect these  awards  on  applicant’s
DD Form 214.

The only issue to be considered by this Board is  award  of  the  Air  Force
Outstanding Unit Award with Valor  device  and  1  Oak  Leaf  Cluster.   The
appropriate Air Force office  evaluated  applicant's  request  and  provided
advisory opinions 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.

The application was not timely filed; however, it  is  in  the  interest  of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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.  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 C. Van Gasbeck, Mr. Mike Novel,  and  Mr.  E.
David Hoard, considered this application on 3 February  2000  in  accordance
with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603,  and  the  governing
statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
