AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03429
INDEX NUMBER: 100.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 26 October 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Command Insignia.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was integrated into the Regular Air Force as a second lieutenant
on 12 November 1947 and served on continous active duty until his voluntary
retirement effective 1 September 1972.
On 2 March 2005, the applicant's request to be awarded Air Force Command
Insignia was considered and denied by the Board. For an accounting of the
facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and, the
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of
Proceedings at Exhibit E.
On 21 April 2005, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration.
To support his request, he provided a personal statement and extracts from
his military personnel records. The applicant's complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPF recommends denial of applicant’s request and states, in part that
acting/interim commanders, vice and deputy commanders are not authorized
permanent wear of the insignia. Additionally, commanders are required to
serve the entire tenure of the command position (usually two years) as a
graduated commander in order to be awarded the insignia. In support of
their recommendation, AFPC/DPF provides an AFPC/DPS message outlining the
eligibility requirements for award and wear of the insignia.
The AFPC/DPF evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit H.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
While he does not have access to all documents pertinent to the subject,
those available have led him to question whether commanders are required to
usually serve two years. Further, there is no indication as to a time
period for an individual to have have filled an approved wing command
position. In his case, he was ordered to command the xxxxx at xxxxx by the
Commander, Air Force Systems Commander (AFSC). He took command at xxxx and
performed the duty of a wing commander until he was transferred to a new
position as center vice commander. If it is possible to award him the
insignia he would appreciate it.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit J.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the additional evidence provided
in support of his appeal, a majority of the Board remains unpersuaded the
applicant’s should be awarded the Air Force Command Insignia. In this
respect, the Board’s majority notes that acting/interim commanders, vice
and deputy commanders do not meet the eligibility requirements for
permanent wear of the insignia. Furthermore, the office of primary
responsibility (OPR) indicates that commanders are required to serve the
entire tenure of the command position (usually two years) as a graduated
commander in order to be awarded the insignia. In the applicant’s case, he
was assigned as the Wing Commander, for a period of 31 days (1 to 31 July
1970), as evidence by the AF Form 1098s, Personnel Action Requests,
submitted with his appeal. Therefore, in the absence of evidence that he
meets the eligibility requirements for award of the insignia, a majority of
the Board does not believe he has met his burden of establishing that his
records are in error or unjust.
_________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
A majority of the Board finds insufficient evidence of error or injustice
and recommends the application be denied.
_________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AIR FORCE BOARD
FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS (AFBCMR)
SUBJECT: AFBCMR Application of XXXXXX, BC-2004-03429
I have carefully reviewed the evidence of record and the
recommendation of the Board members. The majority of the Board found that
applicant had not provided sufficient evidence of error or injustice and
recommended the case be denied. I concur with that finding and their
conclusion that relief is not warranted. Accordingly, I accept their
recommendation that the application be denied.
Please advise the applicant accordingly.
