                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2011-04234-2

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His record be corrected to reflect he is eligible for award of 
the Vietnam Service Medal (VSM) and the Republic of Vietnam 
Gallantry Cross w/Palm (RVNGC w/P).  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
26 June 2012.  For an accounting of the facts and the rationale 
of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of 
Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit F.  

On 5 November 2012 the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  In support of his request, he provided a 
personal letter, copy of his “Request and Authorization for 
Temporary Duty - Military” dated 23 Oct 1969, Air Force History 
Index, Historical Research Agency and internet documents 
pertaining to his former unit, and excerpts from AFI 36-2803, 
The Air Force Awards And Decorations Program and Wikipedia 
related to foreign awards and decorations.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit G. 

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In earlier findings, the Board determined there was insufficient 
evidence to warrant any corrective action.  After thoroughly 
reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of 
his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not believe the 
applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the previous 
decision.  Therefore, in view of the above, and in the absence 
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to 
recommend favorable reconsideration of the applicant’s request.  

________________________________________________________________

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.

________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered this application 
in Executive Session on 22 August 2013, under the provisions of 
AFI 36-2603:

Dear:

	After careful consideration of your request for reconsideration of your application for 
correction of military records, AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-04234, the Board determined 
there was insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  Accordingly, 
your application was again denied.  

	This decision does not preclude an additional request for reconsideration, but such a 
request must be accompanied by newly discovered relevant evidence that was not reasonably 
available at the time of your original application.  Absent such additional evidence, further 
consideration of your application is not possible.  

	BY DIRECTION OF THE CHAIR




				                                   
				                                   Chief Examiner
				                                   Air Force Board for Correction
				                                   of Military Records

Attachment:
Addendum to Record of Board Proceedings
