A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 15 March 2010 for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit

_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. Although the
applicant was unable to provide a copy of a special order
awarding her the AFAM w/2OLC, we believe the documentation she
provided in the form of an AFAM w/2OLC citation and certificate
provides a reasonable basis to conclude she was awarded the AFAM
w/2OLC. Therefore, in the interest of equity and justice, we
elect to resolve any doubt in favor of the applicant.
Accordingly, we recommend her record be corrected as indicated
below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 15 February
2008, she was awarded the Air Force Achievement Medal with Second
