RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01503
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His National Guard Bureau Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of
Service, be changed to show he earned the Small Arms Marksmanship
Ribbon.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he was discharged from the California Air National Guard (CAANG)
his NGB Form 22 failed to show he had qualified for the award of the
Small Arms Marksmanship Ribbon sometime between the dates of January
and May 1988.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted with the Massachusetts Air National Guard on
7 January 2006 as a prior service technical sergeant with a date of
rank (DOR) of 6 March 2004. He is currently serving in the MAANG.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1POF recommends denial. A1POF states the applicant has provided
neither supporting documentation nor any evidence showing he either
was awarded or had earned award of the Small Arms Marksmanship Ribbon.
A1POF does indicate should the applicant provide documentation so the
award of the ribbon could be verified, he may contact a CAANG Military
Personnel Flight (MPF) where his request can be corrected
administratively through issuance of a NGB Form 22A (corrected NGB
Form 22).
A1POF’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8
December 2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of 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
National Guard office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. With the proper
documentation showing eligibility for the award, the applicant may
visit any ANG base, including those in Massachusetts, present the
documentation and receive the award. Therefore, in light of the
above, we find no compelling basis to recommend 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(s) 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.
