COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) second oak
leaf cluster (2nd OLC).
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was awarded the AFAM 2nd OLC for work performed. He has the
official decoration, but because the decoration is so old, they
cannot locate the special order.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides e-mail traffic
regarding the special order, and copies of the other AFAMs along
with their special orders.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to the applicants request are
contained in the Air Force advisory. Accordingly, there is no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states they were able to
locate the AFAM 2nd OLC citation in the applicants official
military record; however, the special order needed to validate
the decoration was not provided or located with this record.
Without the special order, they are unable to verify the
applicants entitlement to the AFAM.
The complete DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOE does not make a recommendation. DPSOE states should
the Board grant the application, supplemental promotion
consideration would not be necessary as he would be rendered a
select for promotion to Master Sergeant for promotion cycle
11E7.
The complete DPSOE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 29 July 2011, for review and comment within 30
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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 the special order
awarding him the AFAM, we believe the AFAM citation second oak
leaf cluster found in his Master Personnel File provides a
reasonable basis to conclude he was awarded the AFAM. We elect
to resolve any doubt in favor of the applicant. Accordingly, we
recommend his 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
1 December 1995, he was awarded the Air Force Achievement Medal,
for outstanding achievement during the period 17 November 1995
to 23 November 1995.
