RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04195
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect award of the:
1. National Defense Service Medal (NDSM).
2. Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The medals should have been awarded, but they were never issued
to him.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 Jun 75, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force
and was discharged on 24 Jun 77.
The AFGCM is awarded to enlisted personnel for exemplary
conduct (exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity), while
in active military service of the United States. Any period of
service covered by a referral Airman Performance Report (APR)
is disqualifying for award of the medal.
Records reflect the applicant received a referral APR during the
period 13 Dec 76 to 12 May 77.
The NDSM is awarded for honorable service as a member of the
United States Armed Forces during authorized time periods as
determined by the Secretary of Defense.
The latest qualifying periods of service for the NDSM were
during Vietnam, from 1 Jan 61 to 14 Aug 74, and Operations
DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM, from 2 Aug 90 to 30 Nov 95.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states that after a
thorough review of the applicants master personnel records,
they were unable to locate documentation from the commander
denying the applicant the AFGCM. However, documentation was
found showing he received numerous counselings, Letters of
Reprimands, a referral APR, barred from reenlistment, as well as
personal appearance and dormitory issues. Additionally, he was
barred from reenlistment. Further, the applicants service did
not occur during a time period for which the NDSM is authorized.
The complete HQ AFPC/DPSIDR 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 7 Jan 11 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. 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 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.
