RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03122
            INDEX CODE:  107.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  records  be  corrected  to  show  he  was   awarded   the   Air   Force
Organizational Excellence Award (AFOEA) w/2nd Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He  recently  received  information  concerning  award  of  the   AFOEA   to
Headquarters, Air Mobility Command (AMC).  The inclusive period was  from  1
Jun 04 to 31 May 06.  He was assigned to Dover AFB, DE (an AMC base)  during
a portion of this period.

In support of  his  request,  applicant  provided  his  personal  statement,
copies of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge  from  Active
Duty and DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate of  Release  or
Discharge from Active Duty, a Meritorious Service Medal  Citation,  and  the
Annual Unit Award Winners Announcement.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 31 Aug 04, the applicant was honorably  relieved  from  active  duty  and
retired in the grade of CMSgt.  He was credited with 32 years  and  21  days
of total active duty service to include 8 years, 10 months, and 18  days  of
Foreign Service.

AFPC/DPPSIDR verified the applicant’s  entitlement  to  the  Global  War  on
Terrorism Service Medal (GWOT-S) and a DD Form  215  has  been  issued  with
this change.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPSIDR recommends disapproval of the applicant’s  request  for  the
AFOEA w/2OLC.  DPPSIDR states the AFOEA was established  on  26  Aug  69  to
recognize  unique,  unnumbered  organizations/units  that   have   performed
exceptionally meritorious service for a nominated time period.  AMC  Special
Order G-234 does not include the 436th Operations Squadron (OS)  as  sharing
in the award of the AFOEA.  The applicant was assigned to  a  numbered  unit
(436th OS); this makes him ineligible for award  of  the  AFOEA.   Applicant
was not directly assigned to the Headquarters.

The DPPSIDR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 2 Nov 07, a copy of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  To date,  a  response  has
not been received.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   We  took  notice  of  the  applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the  case;  however,  we  agree
with the opinion 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,
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.

    2. Corrections be made to the Duty History section of his Officer Selection Brief (OSB). A review of the corresponding Officer Performance Reports clearly reflect the duty title data verified by DPAOM6. Notwithstanding the Air Force's argument that his correct duty title was reflected on his OPR we believe that the determination as to whether or not the error on his OSB had a negative impact on his selection status should be made by selection board members.
