RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02642
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His basic Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM), for the period
Apr 01 thru Apr 02 be placed into his records.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His first AFCM is missing from his records because it was lost
and not scanned into the Automated Record Management System
(ARMS).
He was asked to contact the original approving authority;
however, he was unsuccessful.
He will not be competitive for his upcoming senior master
sergeant (SMSgt, E-8) board and without resolution will meet the
board at a disadvantage.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a copy of the subsequent award elements, a letter
from his commander, and his AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance
Report (AB thru TSgt), ending 8 Jan 02.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade
of master sergeant (MSgt).
The applicant was awarded the AFCM, first oak leaf cluster for
the period 27 May 02 to 27 May 06. He was awarded the AFCM,
second oak leaf cluster for the period 10 Aug 02 to 29 Apr 10
(Exhibit B).
He served at the 607th Combat Communications Squadron, Camp
Humphreys Army Installation, Republic of Korea between Apr 01
and Apr 02.
The AFCM is awarded to a service member serving in any capacity
with the Air Force after 24 Mar 58, for outstanding achievement
or meritorious service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states the applicant has
not provided any evidence to show he is entitled to award of the
AFCM for the period between Apr 01 and Apr 02.
The complete DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 23 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. After a
thorough review of the available evidence of record we are not
persuaded his records should be corrected to show he was awarded
the AFCM for the period Apr 01 thru Apr 02. Therefore, 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. 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.

Had the initial orders, dated 4 Sep 02, been correct in awarding the applicant the AFCM 1OLC rather than the Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM), we believe the citation for the AFCM 1OLC would have been in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) when she was considered by the CY02B selection board. It is further recommended that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by a Special Selection Board for the CY02B Central Major Selection Board with the corrected record. OLGA M....

It also recognizes single acts of merit or meritorious service if the achievement or service is of a lesser degree than that deemed worthy of the Legion of Merit; but such service must have been accomplished with distinction.

DPSOO notes the AFCM (4OLC) was amended to reflect AFCM (3OLC); however, the incorrect AFCM (4OLC) citation had a “Given Under My Hand” date...

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. However, they find it plausible that his commander, not waiting for the decoration package to be completed, assumed an MSM would be approved, and read an MSM citation at the applicant’s retirement ceremony. While the applicant may have been recommended for award of the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) as a retirement decoration, we find no evidence that the recommendation had been completed and approved.
