HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be issued the Air Force Overseas Ribbon (AFOR).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The AFOR was never issued or annotated in his personnel records.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer
or Discharge, and copies of special orders.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 10 Oct 57
and was progressively promoted to the grade of A3G E-2 (P).
The applicants special orders reflect that he was assigned to
the 934th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, Latrar, Iceland,
reporting not later than 26 Dec 59.
AFOR Criteria: The award was created by the Secretary of the Air
Force in 1980. Only Air Force personnel serving on active duty
as of 6 Jan 86 were eligible to have the AFOR applied
retroactively for completed overseas tours (long or short).
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. The applicant does not meet the
eligibility requirements for award of the AFOR because he was
discharged 20 years prior to the establishment of the award and
was not serving on active duty on or after 6 Jan 86.
The complete DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 9 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no 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 that 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.
