COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. He be awarded the Air Force Overseas Ribbon-Short Tour (AFOR-
ST).
2. He be awarded the Air Force Expeditionary Service Ribbon
(AFESR) (administratively corrected).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not receive the AFOR-ST or the AFESR.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of an
email, a copy of a special order, a copy of his travel voucher,
and a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty.
His complete submission, with attachments, with Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 March 2000. He
was progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-4),
having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of
29 March 2003. He served on active duty for 4 years and
2 months.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denying award of the AFOR-ST. DPSIDR
states they were unable to verify the applicant as being eligible
for the AFOR-ST. DPSIDR notes the AFSOR-ST is not authorized for
Germany.
The 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 7 August 2009 for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 injustice with regard to
the applicants request for award of the AFOR-ST. However, we
note the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) has
agreed to administratively correct the applicants record to
reflect award of the AFESR. Although the applicant provided
documentation in support of his request for the award of the
AFOR-ST, we find it insufficient to overcome the rationale of the
Air Force OPR. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the office of primary responsibility and adopt
its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that relief beyond
already granted administratively is not warranted. Therefore, we
find no compelling basis to recommend favorable consideration of
his 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.
