IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00524
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect award of Southwest Asia
Service Medal (SWASM), Kuwait Medal for the Liberation of Kuwait and
or Saudi Arabia’s Kuwait Liberation Medal for her participation in
Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to her being discharged early for pregnancy, she did not receive
the medals when they were issued. Many people in the 60th APS spent
time in Saudi Arabia delivering supplies for the mission. They were
never there long enough for a short tour. She would like to receive
any medals for which she is authorized for this period. She also
supported Humanitarian missions.
Applicant's complete submission, with an attachment, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 October 1987 for
a period of four years.
Her DD Form 214 reflects she was awarded the Air Force Good Conduct
Medal (AFGCM), USAF NCO PME Graduate Ribbon, National Defense Service
Medal (NDSM), Air Force Training Ribbon, Air Force Longevity Service
Award Ribbon, and Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) with one
Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC). The DD Form 214, Item 18, Remarks reflects
the applicant served from 2 August 1990 to 13 April 1993 in support of
Operation Desert Shield/Storm.
On 17 March 2004, AFPC/DPRFQ requested the applicant provide
additional documentation showing she participated in Desert
Shield/Desert Storm to include travel vouchers or deployment orders.
The applicant did not respond.
The applicant was honorably released from active duty on 13 April 1993
due to Pregnancy and transferred to the Reserve of the Air Force. She
served 5 years, 5 months and 17 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPRFQ states the applicant did not respond to the request to
provide documentation to reflect her deployment in support of
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Therefore, DPRFQ recommends
denying the requested relief.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7
May 2004, for review and response. 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 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 the recommendation of the Air
Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or an injustice.
The applicant was requested to provide a copy of her travel voucher or
deployment orders to show she was TDY or deployed in support of Desert
Shield/Desert Storm. The applicant did not respond. 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.
