RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00504
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 15 AUG 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Overseas Ribbon - Short (AFOR-S).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged on 4 November 1980 and the AFOR-S was authorized on 12
October 1980.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 5 November 1976, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in the
grade of airman basic for a period of four years.
On 4 November 1980, the applicant was honorably discharged in the grade of
senior airman under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (Expiration Term of
Service). He served 4 years of active military service.
The applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects he received the following decorations
and citations: The Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM) and the Air Force
Longevity Service Award (AFLSA) Ribbon.
On 28 February 2005, AFPC/DPPPRA verified the applicant’s entitlement to
the AFTR. They indicated the applicant’s DD Form 214 (Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty) would be corrected to add the AFTR
when his case was finalized with the Air Force Board for Correction of
Military Records (AFBCMR).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR indicated the applicant provided documentation to substantiate
his claim for award of the AFTR; however, he is ineligible for award of the
AFOR-S. The AFOR-S is credited to service members who complete an overseas
tour after 1 September 1980. The applicant’s record indicates he completed
an assignment with the 6917th Security Squadron, San Vito Air Base, Italy,
for the period of May 1977 to November 1978.
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 4 March 2005, 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 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 an 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 its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been
the victim of an error or injustice. The AFOR-S is credited to service
members who complete an overseas tour after 1 September 1980. According to
the applicant’s military personnel records there is no documentation to
substantiate his claim that he is entitled to the AFOR-S. The applicant’s
records indicate he completed an assignment with the 67th Security
Squadron, San Vito Air Base, Italy, for the period of May 1977 to November
1978. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
