Her records be corrected to show she was awarded the Meritorious

Service Medal, the Air Force Short Tour Ribbon, the Air Force
Professional Military Education Graduation Ribbon, the Kuwait
Liberation Medal, the Air Force Service Occupation Badge, the Air

obtained.
In support of her request, the applicant submits the criteria for each
requested medal, a copy of NGB Form 22, Department of the Army and the
Air Force National Guard Bureau Report of Separation and Record of
Service, and excerpts from her military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard of Ohio on 5 Sep 85,
for a term of four years and was progressively promoted to the grade
of airman first class. She was discharged on 23 Jan 91, for
enlistment in another state. She received an honorable discharge and
an eligible reenlistment eligibility code.
She enlisted in the Air National Guard of California on 24 Jul 91, in
the grade of sergeant and was released on 23 Jan 92. She served a
total of 6 years, 4 months and 19 days military service.
The applicant’s separation document reflects award of the Army
Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Air Force Longevity
Service Award, the Ohio Award of Merit w/NUM 1, the Ohio Faithful
Service Ribbon and the Ohio Basic Training Ribbon.
On 19 Jun 07, the applicant’s records were administratively corrected
to reflect award of the National Defense Service Medal (NDSM).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1POF recommends denial. A1POF states, that according to the
applicant’s unit and based on the documentation she provided, more
evidence will be required before her entitlement to the requested
awards can be verified.
The A1POF 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 8
Aug 07, 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. The applicant has not submitted
persuasive evidence to substantiate her request, nor does the evidence
of record reflect her eligibility for the requested awards. Should
she provide official documentation to support her entitlement to these
awards, the Board would be willing to reconsider her request. The
Board notes the applicant is entitled to the NDSM and her records were
administratively corrected to reflect this award. In view of the
above, we agree with the opinions and recommendation 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, we find no compelling basis to warrant
favorable consideration of the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
