RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00856
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. She be awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (AFEM).
2. She be awarded the Kosovo Campaign Medal (KCM)
(administratively corrected).
3. She be awarded the Overseas Long Tour Ribbon (AFOR-L)
(administratively corrected).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, does not accurately reflect her awards.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of a
certificate of appreciation, copies of travel vouchers, copies of
TDY orders, a copy of her defense meritorious service medal
citation, a copy of an email, and a copy of her DD Form 214.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of
captain, having assumed that grade and with an effective date of
rank of 11 June 2004. She received an honorable discharge on
15 August 2007. She served on active duty for 7 years, 1 month,
and 6 days. The applicants Reserve Obligation Termination Date
is 14 August 2010.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denying the AFEM. DPSIDR states they are
unable to verify the applicant was deployed in support of an
operation which was authorized to receive the AFEM by the Chief
of Staff. The specific criterion for award of the AFEM is noted
in the advisory from DPSIDR.
The DPSIDR complete 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 2 June 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 timely filed.
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 are not persuaded by the evidence presented
that correction to her record to reflect award of the AFEM is
warranted. The applicant submits travel and award documentation
in support of her deployment; however, absent from her submission
is any documentation that meets the specific criterion of award
of the AFEM. In addition, we note that AFPC/DPSIDR has verified
the applicants entitlement to the KCM and AFOR-L, and has
administratively corrected her record to reflect these awards.
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 determination that relief beyond
that already granted administratively is not warranted.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
