COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be awarded all awards and decorations given to her unit while
deployed to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was asked to separate due to pregnancy and did not receive
any awards or decorations before she was released.
In support of her request, the applicant provided a copy of her
Report on Individual Personnel (RIP) and her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was an AFR officer who entered active duty on
17 December 1985. She served as a Transportation Officer.
On 11 January 1991, the applicant was honorably released from
active duty. She served 5 years and 5 days on active duty and
was credited with 3 months and 4 days of prior active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states a thorough review of
the applicant's master personnel record and documents provided by
the applicant failed to provide any document that substantiated
any time served in the United Arab Emirates. There is no
evidence she was on temporary duty (TDY) or assigned to this
location.
The DPAPP complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states after a review of
her record they are unable to verify the applicant's service in
the UAE. In addition, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service
(DFAS) was also unable to verify her deployment location.
However, they were able to determine the applicant's entitlement
to the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.
The DPSIDR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 24 July 2009, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing
the evidence of record we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. There are no documents in the applicants military
personnel record which reflect she served in the UAE (i.e.,
stationed or sent TDY during her tour of duty in the Air Force).
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
