HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Corrections be made to his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty to include award of the Small Arms Expert
Marksmanship Ribbon (SAEMR).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He makes no contentions.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his DD
Form 214 and retirement orders.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 26 Jul 83. He was
honorably retired on 1 Feb 07. He served 23 years, 5 months and 6
days on active duty.
On 31 Oct 07, a DD Form 215 was issued amending Blocks 12b, 12c, 13
and 18 of his DD Form 214.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPR recommends the requested relief for award of the SAEMR
be denied. DPPPR states they were unable to verify his entitlement to
the SAEMR and unable to locate an Air Force Form 522, USAF Ground
Weapons Training Data, showing he qualified as an expert with the M-16
or a handgun on an Air Force firing
range. The applicant did not provide any documentation to
substantiate his claim.
The complete AFPC/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 16
Nov 07, for review and response 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or an injustice with respect to his request
for award of the SAEMR. We took notice of the applicant's complete
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with
the opinion and the 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 an
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 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.
