                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:            DOCKET NO: 00-01434
                       INDEX CODE:  100.00

                             COUNSEL:  NONE

                             HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that he be awarded  a  campaign  ribbon  for  service  in
Taiwan and the Philippines in  direct  support  of  operations  in  Vietnam.
Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

On 25 September 1972, applicant’s DD Form 214 (Armed Forces  of  the  United
States Report of Transfer or Discharge), was administratively  corrected  to
reflect his correct Social Security Account Number (SSAN).

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.

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 available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board Mr. Robert W. Zook,  Ms.  Brenda  L.  Romine,  and  Ms.
Marcia J. Bachman, considered this application on 1 May 2001, in  accordance
with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603,  and  the  governing
statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
