RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-03259
INDEX CODE: 107.00
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. COUNSEL: NONE
xxxxxxxxxxxx HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that he be awarded the Bronze Star Medal in lieu of the
Air Force Commendation Medal. 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). Applicant’s response to the advisory
opinion is at Exhibit E.
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
adequately 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. Richard A. Peterson, Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler, and
Ms. Barbara J. White-Olson considered this application on 6 June 2000 in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
