RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03578
CASE #2
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 25 MAY 08
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Overseas Ribbon-Short Tour (AFOR-ST).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should be awarded the AFOR-ST for his tour in Okinawa.
In support of his request, the applicant provided documentation extracted
from his military personnel record.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered active duty on 4 November 1959 in the grade of airman
basic for a period of four years.
On 7 October 1963, the applicant was honorably released under the
provisions of AFR 39-14. He served 3 years, 11 months, and 4 days on
active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial. DPPPR states the AFOR-ST was not authorized
until 1981, after the applicant’s separation date. The AFOR-ST ribbon is
awarded to Air Force and Air Force Reserve members credited with completion
of an overseas tour on or after 1 September 1980. Applicant separated in
1963 before the AFOR-ST was authorized, which makes him ineligible for
award of the AFOR-ST.
The DPPPR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 8 December 2006, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 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 an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, after thoroughly reviewing the applicant’s submission and
the evidence of record there is no indication in the applicant’s military
personnel record that he is entitled to award of the AFOR-ST. The
applicant’s records indicate he was separated in 1963 before the AFOR-ST
was authorized, which makes him ineligible for award of the AFOR-ST.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
