RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03270
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) for time
served in Thailand (16 May 1969 through 15 May 1970) and
supplemental promotion consideration to Master Sergeant (MSgt),
Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt), and Chief Master Sergeant
(CMSgt).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should have received the AFCM for his accomplishments in
Thailand. During the contested time frame he missed promotion to
MSgt by 3 points. He believes he would have been promoted
earlier to the rank of MSgt, and would have possibly been
promoted to SMSgt and CMSgt.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement and a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
AFPC/DPSIDRA was able to verify the applicants entitlement to
the AFCM for meritorious service at March Air Force Base,
California, from 23 June 1970 to 15 September 1971 per Special
Order G-145. His records will be administratively corrected.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these
facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDRA recommends denial. DPSIDRA states the applicant has
not provided a signed recommendation from someone within his
chain of command who possesses firsthand knowledge of the act or
achievement, a proposed citation, chain of command endorsements,
or eyewitness statement(s).
The complete DPSIDRA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit
C.
AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. DPSOE states the applicants
record contains one promotion order to the grade of MSgt.
Promotion files are maintained for 10 years, his rank to
technical sergeant cannot be determined. Without this
information, there is no way of knowing when he was eligible for
promotion consideration to MSgt, which decorations were
considered in the promotion process, and whether the addition of
the AFCM would render him a select during an earlier promotion
cycle.
The complete DPSOE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 17 December 2010, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To
date, a response has not been received (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. The applicants
contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing the evidence
of record we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the
Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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.
