AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03438
INDEX CODE: 113.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect that he was stationed in England for 24
months.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was a crewmember on a B-17 that flew missions over Northern France. He
was TDY to the European Theatre of Operations. His complete submission is
at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant entered active service as an Airplane Engine Mechanic in the Army
Air Corps on 19 Sep 43 and was released from active duty on 17 Mar 46.
Subsequent to that time period, he served various assignments in the Air
Force Reserve until his placement on the Reserve retired list on 1 Oct 69.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP1 recommends denial. DPAPP1 states that there are no TDY orders,
travel vouchers, or any other documents in his World War II (WW-II) records
that show he was overseas during WW-II. All his assignments were in the
continental United States (CONUS) during his WW-II service. He was asked
to provide further documentation to support his claim, but did not respond.
The DPAPP1 evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 19 Dec
03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 thoroughly reviewed the evidence of
record and found no documentation to support the applicant's assertion that
his records should be amended to reflect that he was stationed in England.
Therefore, 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. 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.

Further, DPPPR argues to award the applicant the DFC after he was awarded a medal for his actions would be an injustice to all other recipients of the AM awarded for actions similar to those of the applicant.
