RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-03236
INDEX CODE: 107.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: NONE
SSN HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests his military records be corrected to reflect the
award of the Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM), Air Force
Outstanding Unit Award, Presidential Unit Citation, Good Conduct Medal
(GCM), and Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm. Applicant's
submission is at Exhibit A.
As noted by the Air Staff, in their advisory opinion of 13 June 2000,
they have verified applicant’s entitlement to the Presidential Unit
Citation, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with V for valor, and
Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm. These decorations have
been added to his DD 214.
Therefore, the only issues to be considered by this Board are his
allegations to his entitlement to the AFCM and GCM. 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. 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 available at the time the application was filed.
Members of the Board Mr. Henry J. Romo, Mr. William Anderson, and Mr.
Teddy L. Houston considered this application on 23 August 2000, in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and
the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
