RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-02692
XXXXXXX, COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSC) Identification Badge be added to his
military records.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The attached certificate showed that he had completed six months of duty
with the Joint Chiefs of Staff organization. He should be entitled to the
award of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge.
In support of his request, applicant provided his DD Form 214, and a copy
of JCS Organization Certificate, dated 12 June 1955, authorizing him the
Department of Defense Identification Badge and the Department of Defense
Lapel Button or Pin.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s military records were destroyed in the 1973 fire at the
National Personnel Records Center.
The available records reveal that the applicant served on active duty from
19 May 1953 through 18 May 1957. He received an honorable discharge after
completing four years of total active military service.
His medals, badges and ribbons when discharged, included the Air Force Good
Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Department of
Defense Identification Badge.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPF recommends denial and states that the AFI 36-2923, Aeronautical,
Duty and Occupational Badges, identifies JCS/J1 as the OPR for the JCS
Identification Badge. This particular badge was created and approved for
wear on 5 April 1963. The badge is not retroactive for personnel
identified as serving a JCS tour prior to 5 April 1963.
AFPC/DPF complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 15 October 2004, for review and comment 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 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 that would warrant approval. As stated by
the AFPC/DPF, JCS/JI is the approving authority for the award of the JCS
Identification Badge and the Board is without the authority to award the
badge. Furthermore, it appears the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSC)
Identification Badge was created after the applicant’s discharge from the
Air Force and there were no provisions made to award this badge
retroactively. In view of the above, we find no 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.
