RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-03591
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Block 24 of his National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Report of
Separation and Record of Service, be corrected to show the award of
the Soldier’s Medal.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was awarded the Soldier’s Medal on 10 March 1957. The Air National
Guard (ANG) refused to include the award on his NGB Form 22.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies of a
newspaper clipping, a discharge certificate and his NGB Form 22.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant joined the Regular Air Force on 8 February 1952 and served
four years. He left the Regular Air Force and joined the Air Force
Reserve (AFR) on 11 January 1956. He left the AFR and joined the Air
National Guard (ANG) on 7 April 1956. He was progressively promoted
to the grade of staff sergeant with a date of rank (DOR) of 23
September 1956. He was discharged from the ANG effective 1 November
1962 for failure to satisfactorily participate after serving a total
of 10 years, 6 months, and 3 days.
EXAMINER’S NOTE: An Air Force evaluation was not received; however,
prior to forwarding the case to the Board, we spoke with officials
from the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) and researched pertinent
publications regarding the question of whether or not an Army Guard
decoration may be listed on an ANG retirement document. We were
unable to find the answer to that question.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. The applicant has provided
documentation showing he was indeed awarded the Soldier’s Medal for
heroism. We can find no reason that would prohibit the inclusion of
the Soldier’s Medal on his NGB 22. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we recommend that the records be corrected
as 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 Block 24 of the NGB
Form 22 issued to the applicant indicating service between 7 April
1956 to 6 April 1959, include the award of the Soldiers Medal for
Heroism.
