COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in the Air Force honorably for four years and he
believes he is entitled to the AFGCM. His only infraction was a
speeding ticket he received while responding to an emergency
which was related to his military duty.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD
Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 30 January
1961.
On 29 October 1965, the applicant was honorably released from
active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He served
4 years and 9 months on active duty.
Authorized 1 June 1963, the AFGCM is awarded to enlisted service
members of the U.S. Air Force for exemplary conduct during a
continuous three year period of military service while in the
active military service of the United States. Service members
awarded this medal must have had character and efficiency ratings
of excellent or higher throughout the qualifying period including
time spent in attendance at service schools, and there must have
been no convictions of court martial during this period.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDRA recommends denial. DPSIDRA notes the applicants
Form 7 states service from 17 November 1961 through 24 January
1964 not creditable for award of GCM. Due to this remark, he is
ineligible for the AFGCM as he did not complete three continuous
years of honorable active duty service.
The DPSIDRA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he received a speeding ticket in route to
responding to a trouble call at one of the sites on base. He
received no other written documentation concerning this incident.
He believes he is entitled to the AFGCM.
The applicants complete response is at 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 an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence 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 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.
