RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00521
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect the award of the Air Force
Overseas Ribbon-Short Tour (AFOR-ST).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, states he
served four months and one day on a temporary duty (TDY)
assignment to the Philippines after six service members were
assassinated. Many airmen from different bases were sent to
augment the security police.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, his Certificate of Accomplishment, and his request
for records to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 10 January 1986 and
was progressively promoted to the grade of sergeant (E-4). On
9 January 1990, he was honorably discharged after serving four
years of active service.
On 12 October 1980, the Chief of Staff, United States Air Force,
authorized the AFOR-ST. Before 6 January 1986, the ribbon was
awarded to Air Force and Air Force Reserve members credited with
completion of an overseas tour on or after 1 September 1980.
Normally, the AFOR-ST is awarded for a permanent duty assignment
of at least 181 consecutive days or, if stationed overseas, 300
days within an 18 month time span or 548 days in a consecutive 3-
year period.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states the applicant was not
TDY to the Philippines long enough to receive the short tour
credit. The applicants records indicate he was TDY to the
Philippines for only 2 months and 14 days. He was asked to
provide additional information; however, he did not respond.
The complete DPAPP 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 4 June 2010, for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office.
(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 an 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 our conclusion 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 his request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of a 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.
