RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03177
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) inclusive dates be changed.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in the Honor Guard during 9/11 and would like his AFAM to
reflect his service. His evaluation report for the period of
16 Jul 01 thru 15 Jul 02 mentions his Honor Guard service; however,
the inclusive dates of his AFAM do not fall within the dates of his
evaluation. He served during a critical time in our countrys
history and was just happy to receive the medal even though it was
not awarded until 12 Jun 03. However, he did not realize the
importance of having his official documents reflect the precise
dates of such an important event until he sat down and reflected on
his career and future legacy; he would now like his records
corrected to reflect his career accurately.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of AF Form
910, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR)(AB thru TSGT), and a copy of
his award citation.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicants military records, are contained in the letter prepared
by the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is
no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states that they were unable
to determine an injustice existing with regards to the inclusive
period as reflected on the applicants AFAM. Although his EPR
mentions his service with the Honor Guard, DPSIDR was unable to
determine the exact dates of his service except for the dates on
the award. Therefore, DPSIDR cannot support the applicants
request.
The DPSIDR complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 15 Oct 10 for review and comment within 30 days. 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 timely filed.
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 our 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.
