                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-00982
            INDEX CODE:  107.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect the award of the Armed  Forces
Expeditionary Medal.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The applicant did not provide any documentation  to  substantiate  his
claim.

In support of the appeal, applicant provided a copy of his TDY in  and
outprocessing checklist, a copy of Special Order TE-0346,  a  copy  of
his Supplemental Evaluation Sheet, and a certificate.

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 February 1999.

His Enlisted Performance Report for the period 4 February  1999  to  4
October 2000 contains the statement that the applicant was deployed to
Kuwait “in support of United Nations Security Council resolution 668.”

On 26 November 2001, the  applicant  was  discharged  under  honorable
conditions (general) because of misconduct.  He had served two  years,
nine months and 22 days on active duty.

_________________________________________________________________





AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPR states that they  are  unable  to  verify  the  applicant’s
eligibility for the  Armed  Forces  Expeditionary  Medal  without  the
necessary documentation.  Although he stated  he  was  in  Kuwait  and
Saudi Arabia for three months in each location,  his  records  do  not
substantiate this claim.  Furthermore, his EPR states he was  deployed
in support of a United Nations Security  Council  resolution,  not  in
support of an operation designated  by  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff.
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s request.

A complete copy of the evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 24 October 2003, a copy of the Air Force evaluation  was  forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days.  As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the  existence  of  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  conclusion  that  the
applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or   injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling basis to recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of material error  or  injustice;  that  the
application was denied without a personal  appearance;  and  that  the
application will only be reconsidered upon  the  submission  of  newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

    Although we find the applicant's actions which led to award of the Airman's Medal and two DFCs for his acts of heroism to be truly commendable, we find no evidence of either an error or an injustice in this case. In this regard, we note that the SAFPC considered the aforementioned decorations for award of an additional 10 percent in retired pay and found that, while heroic, his actions did not measure up to the standard required for an "extraordinary" determination.
