APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show he flew a mission as a crew chief into
Macedonia.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The paperwork was never submitted to document his flight into
Macedonia.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of Special Order
TC-137, ANG Form 41, Flight Authorization, and two copies of AFTO Form

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

The applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard on 6 May 69, was
progressively promoted to the grade of master sergeant and honorably
retired in that grade on 14 May 03. He was transferred to the Reserve
Retired List on 15 May 03. He served a total of 33 years 11 months,
and 28 days.
His records indicate he served in Operation Southern Watch, Operation
Restore Hope, Operation Joint Endeavor, Operation Deny Flight, and
Operation Desert Storm campaigns.
He was awarded the Armed Forces Service Medal, Southwest Asia Service
Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC), the National Defense Service

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1POF recommends denial. A1POF states in part, they were unable to
contact the applicant to retrieve additional information. Furthermore,
he can resubmit his application with specific documentation supporting
his request and provide his current contact information.
The NGB/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 31
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. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded
that he should be given the requested relief. Applicant’s contentions
are duly noted; however, we do not find these assertions, in and by
themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the Air Force. We therefore agree with the recommendation of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale
expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed
to sustain his burden of establishing that he has suffered either an
error or an injustice. In view of the above and absent persuasive
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

On 27 December 1983, he was honorably discharged from the Maryland Air National Guard for Expiration Term of Service (ETS) after having served for 16 years and 6 months. After a review of the evidence of record and applicant's submission, we are not persuaded that his uncorroborated assertion he was discharged for being six pounds overweight, in and by itself, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air National Guard.
