COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her late husbands DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, reflect service in Grenada.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her late husbands record should reflect service in Grenada and
he should have received a ribbon for his service during that

service members DD Form 214 and death certificate.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The service member with 20 years and 29 days of active duty
service retired from the Air Force on 1 September 1988.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states the service members
records do not contain information that reflect he served in
Grenada.
The DPAPP complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 April 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 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 an injustice. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing
the evidence of record, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
service member has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
There are no documents in the service members military personnel
record which reflect he served in Grenada. Moreover, the
applicant has not submitted any documentation to support her
assertion that the service member served in Grenada. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.
