                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02983
            INDEX NUMBER:  107.00; 131.00
      XXXXXXXXXXX      COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  decoration  score  be  corrected  to  the  correct  score  with
multipliers and he be promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt)
with backpay.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His decorations were computed incorrectly when he was considered for
promotion to SSgt.  His record should have reflected  award  of  the
National  Defense  Service  Medal  (NDSM),  the  Small  Arms  Expert
Marksmanship Ribbon  (SAEMR),  the  Air  Force  Good  Conduct  Medal
(AFGCM), and the senior missileman badge.

In support of his appeal, applicant provides a copy of his  DD  Form
214, which does not reflect his award of the missileman badge.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at  Exhibit
A.

__________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered active duty on 13  Jan  67  in  the  grade  of
airman basic.  He was honorably discharged in the grade of  sergeant
on 12 Jan 71.  His DD Form 214 reflects  that  he  was  awarded  the
National  Defense  Service  Medal  (NDSM),  the  Small  Arms  Expert
Marksmanship Ribbon (SAEMR), and the Air Force  Good  Conduct  Medal
(AFGCM).  On 27 Oct 03, AFPC/DPPRSP notified the applicant that  his
DD Form 214 had been corrected to include award  of  the  missileman
badge.

__________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial of the applicant’s request.   None  of
the applicant’s awards are among those  listed  in  AFR  39-29  with
assigned point values toward promotion.  Therefore,  his  contention
is without merit.

The complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
7 Nov 03 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response
has not been received.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was not timely filed;  however,  it  is  in  the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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 office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale  as
the basis for our 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.
