RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03955
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect award of the Army Commendation
Medal (ACM).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The medal was omitted from his records.
In support of his request, applicant provided documentation associated
with the ACM recommendation.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 5 Jan 65 as an airman basic
for a period of four years. He was honorably released from active
duty on 18 Oct 68.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDR recommends the request for award of the ACM be denied.
DPSIDR states no official documentation was located in his records
that verify the ACM was processed or approved by higher headquarters.
The complete AFPC/DPSIDR 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
25 Jan 08, 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 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 an error or an injustice. After thoroughly reviewing
the military personnel records and documentation submitted by the
applicant, we found no evidence to verify the recommendation for the
award of the ACM was approved by the award approving authority.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the
basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his
burden of proof of the existence of either an error or an injustice.
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.
