RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02731
            INDEX CODE:  110.00
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

MANDATORY COMPLETE DATE: 13 MARCH 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from the Armed  Forces,
be corrected to reflect the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (AFEM).

_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was discharged before the AFEM medal was awarded to his unit.

In support of his appeal, applicant submits a personal letter, copy  of  his
DD Form 214; a copy of the City of New  York  Police  Department  Operations
Order number 73-1, s00.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 10 August 1987, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air  Force  in  the
grade of airman basic (E-1) for a period of 4 years.
The applicant was discharged on 9 August 1991 with an  honorable  discharge.
He had served 4 years and 9 months total active military service.

The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows  he  was  entitled  to  the  Good  Conduct
Medal, the Air Force Training Ribbon, the National  Defense  Service  Medal,
and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial and  states  after  a  through  review  of  the
applicant's military records and resources available, they  were  unable  to
verify location of Foreign Service  or  the  applicant  was  in  support  of
Operation DESERT SHIELD/STORM. The applicant did not  provide  documents  to
substantiate his claim.

AFPC/DPPPR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and stated he was unable  to
get his military orders and he does have them on hand. There  must  be  some
way possible to track down his deployment orders. It is an insult to him  as
well as any other US veteran to say  that  if  they  were  in  the  military
during the conflict, that they were not even considered as a  support  team.
He has already sent the Board a copy of his D-214 and  personnel  orders  in
which the NYDP has issued military veterans. If there is any other  material
the Board needs, please ask.

Applicant's complete response is at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

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 find no evidence of error in this  case
and after a thorough review of the evidence of record, we do not believe  he
has suffered an injustice.  Other than his own assertions, we have  seen  no
evidence that would lead us to believe that he served in an area that  would
have qualified him for award of the AFEM.  In the  absence  of  evidence  to
the contrary, we find no  compelling  basis  to  recommending  granting  the
relief sought in this application.

4.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been  shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will  materially  add  to
our understanding of the issue  involved.   Therefore,  the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
