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 country’s 
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 
applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 
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.
