INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 12 AUGUST 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Korean Defense Service Medal (KDSM) for Foreign Service to Korea
be reflected on his DD Form 214.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s military personnel records reflect the applicant served on
active duty as a commissioned officer from 29 August 1964
to 30 September 1984, and retired in the grade of Major.
The applicant's report on individual personnel records review printout
dated 1 September 1984, verify and confirm the following dates of
temporary duty (TDY) in Korea (see Exhibit B):
September 1981 TDY to Korea 22 days
August 1983 TDY to Korea 24 days
February 1982 TDY to Germany 20 days
On 18 April 2006, the Board considered and denied an application for
correction of military records pertaining to applicant. 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 F.
On 30 May 2006, the applicant submitted a letter of support from a
senior officer for reconsideration on his behalf. The applicant's
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing the complete previous evidence of record and the
applicant’s new submission, we find sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice
warranting the award of KDSM. In this respect, we note from the
previous application, the applicant provided documentation showing he
served a total of 46 days in the AOR, 14 days less than the required
time of 60 nonconsecutive days for the award. We believe the
information provided from a senior officer substantiating first-hand
knowledge that the applicant served an additional 22 days TDY to Korea
in support of Ulchi-Focus Lens Exercise, now qualifies the applicant
for the award of the KSDM. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 10 September 1983,
he was awarded the Korean Service Defense Medal (KSDM).

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 its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or an injustice. The applicant did not provide any documentation showing he was assigned or TDY to Korea. There is no documentation in the applicant’s military records to reflect he was assigned or TDY to Korea.
