                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:            DOCKET NO: 00-01598
                       INDEX CODE:  100.00

                             COUNSEL:  NONE

                             HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his  records  be  corrected  to  show  that  he  was
awarded the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon  (SAEMR).   The  applicant
also requested that his records be corrected to show  that  he  was  awarded
the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with V device and 1 Oak  Leaf  Cluster,
the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, and the  Vietnam  Service
Medal with 2 Bronze  Service  Stars;  however,  the  appropriate  Air  Force
office has verified his entitlement to these awards and have added  them  to
his DD Form 214. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The  appropriate   Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's  request   and
provided an advisory opinion to the Board denial of the applicant’s  request
for the SAEMR (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. Gregory H. Petkoff, Mr.  George  Franklin  and  Ms.
Barbara J. White-Olson, considered this application on 11 January  2001,  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603,  and  the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
