AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00022-2
XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Purple Heart.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 15 September 2010, the Board considered and denied a similar
appeal. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the applicants request and the rationale of the
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at
Exhibit E (with Exhibits A through D).
Via DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record,
dated 15 January 2014, the applicant submitted a request for
reconsideration. He agrees that there is no medical record which
substantiates that he was treated for his foot injury because
there were several casualties that occurred prior to his injury.
Therefore, while his foot injury would not have been a priority,
it should not diminish the validity of his request.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, copies of an electronic communiqué and photographs.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the additional evidence
provided in support of his appeal, it remains the opinion of the
Board that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof
or that he has been the victim of an error or injustice. The
Board has carefully considered the statements and photographs
provided by the applicant and while the Board believes the
evidence to be new and relevant, it is not of such significance as
to alter the original decision. As previously noted, the
applicant has not provided sufficient evidence to show his alleged
injury was a result of direct enemy action. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board finds no 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.

The Air Force disability boards must rate disabilities based on the member's condition at the time of evaluation; in essence a snapshot of their condition at that time. Following this reasoning one could conclude that assigning the rating as determined by the DVA based on evidence during the members active service would be proper, since it was based upon clinical assessments conducted before her actual date of discharge. c.
