grade of staff sergeant. He served three years, eight months and seven
days on active duty.

be administratively corrected to reflect the GCM.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIMC recommends denial of the applicant’s request for the
Sharpshooter Badge.
DPSIMC notes the applicant assumes he earned the Sharpshooter Badge for his
involvement in ground support of most, or all of the major battles in Korea
that started in Jul 50 and ended in Dec 51; however, no official
documentation was provided awarding him the Sharpshooter Badge.
The complete DPSIMC 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 16 Apr
10, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for the conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this 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.
