RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03957
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 30 JUN 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Good Conduct Medal with one Silver Oak
Leaf Cluster (AFGCM w/1 SOLC), Air Force Overseas Ribbon-Short Tour
with one Oak leaf Cluster (AFOR-ST) w/1 OLC, Air Force Overseas-Long
Tour (AFOR-LT), Air Force Recruiter Ribbon with one Oak Leaf Cluster
(AFRR w/1 OLC) and the Air Force Training Ribbon (AFTR).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The awards are missing from his DD Form 214, Report of Separation from
Active Duty.
In support of his request, the applicant submits DD Form 214, Report
of Separation from Active Duty, and excerpts from his military
personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 March 1952 and
was progressively promoted to the grade of master sergeant. He
retired in that grade on 1 April 1978 after serving a total of
26 years, and 28 days total active service.
The applicant’s records reflect award of the Meritorious Service
Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service
Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship
Medal, AFGCM w/1 SOLC, Air Force Longevity Service Award, w/1 SOLC,
and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.
AFPC/DPPPR verified the applicant’s eligibility to the AFGCM with
three Bronze Loops. His records will be administratively corrected to
reflect award of this Medal.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial. DPPPR states the applicant was awarded
the AFGCM w/1SOLC and the award is annotated correctly on his DD Form
214. The AFOR-ST and AFOR-LT both are awarded to Air Force and Air
Force Reserve members credited with completion of an overseas tour on
or after 1 September 1980. He retired from the military in 1978,
which makes him ineligible for both awards.
The AFRR was authorized on 21 June 2000, and authorization to wear the
ribbon is retroactive for any individual who has successfully
completed 36 months of duty as an Air Force recruiter and is currently
on active duty or a member of a reserve component as of the
establishment date of 21 June 2000. The AFTR is awarded to Air Force
service members on completion of initial accession training program
such as Basic Military Training, Officer Training School, USAF
Academy, etc, after 14 August 1974.
The DPPPR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
23 March 2007, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
applicant’s submission and the available evidence of record, the Board
was not persuaded that he should be awarded the requested medals. We
agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in
this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of a 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 no considered with this application.
