RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02687
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. He be awarded the Iraqi Campaign Medal (ADMINISTRATIVELY
CORRECTED).
2. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release from Active Duty, be
corrected to show he was awarded the Air Force Achievement Medal
(AFAM).
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was presented with the Iraqi Campaign Medal and the Air Force
Achievement Medal, but he cannot locate the documentation for
the awards.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served in the Regular Air Force from 22 October
2002 to 9 November 2006. He was released from active duty with
an honorable discharge. His DD Form 214 does not reflect he was
awarded the AFAM>
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. They were able to locate an
AF Form 638, dated 18 December 2005, in the applicants Master
Personnel Record stating the applicant was awarded the AFAM.
However, the special order needed to validate the applicants
entitlement to wear the decoration could not be located.
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 26 August 2011, 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 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 AF Form 638, found in his
Master Personnel File provides a reasonable basis to conclude he
was awarded the AFAM. 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 the DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
issued in conjunction with his 9 November 2006 separation, be
amended in Item 13, Decorations, Medals, Badges, Commendations,
Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized, to include
the Air Force Achievement Medal.
