                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2008-02680
            INDEX CODE:  107.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be awarded the Bronze Star Medal (BSM).

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on       24  October
2008.  For an accounting of the  facts  and  circumstances  surrounding  the
rationale  of  the  earlier  decision  by  the  Board,  see  the  Record  of
Proceedings at Exhibit F.

By letter, dated 5 November 2008, applicant requests reconsideration of  his
request, contending that his commander submitted a  recommendation  for  the
award of the BSM and that he was selected to receive the BSM award.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a personal statement and a  copy
of Part II Monthly Maintenance Data Analysis reports.

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

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was insufficient  evidence
to  warrant  any  corrective  action.   After   thoroughly   reviewing   the
additional documentation  submitted  in  support  of  this  appeal  and  the
evidence of record, we  do  not  believe  the  applicant  has  overcome  the
rationale expressed in our previous decision.  Therefore,  in  view  of  the
above, and in the absence of evidence to the  contrary,  we  find  no  basis
upon which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request.

The applicant's case is adequately documented and  it  has  not  been  shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will  materially  add  to
our understanding of the issue  involved.   Therefore,  the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the additional  evidence  presented  did  not
meet  the  criteria  for  reconsideration  by  the  Board;  and   that   the
application  will  only  be  reconsidered  upon  the  submission  of   newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered the  applicant’s  request  for
reconsideration of AFBCMR Docket BC-2008-02680 in  Executive  Session  on  4
December 2008, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

      Mr. James W. Russell III, Panel Chair
      Ms. Lea Gallogly, Member
      Mr. Gregory A. Parker, Member

The following additional documentary evidence was considered:

      Exhibit F. Record of Proceedings, dated 24 October 2008, w/Exhibits.
      Exhibit G. Letter, Applicant, dated 5 November 2008, w/atchs.





                                   JAMES W. RUSSELL III
                                   Panel Chair
