RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00124
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded a ten percent increase in his retired pay as a
result of receiving the Airmans Medal (AmnM) for heroism.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and approved by the Board on
2 Aug 12. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the applicants request, and, the rationale of the
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at
Exhibit F.
The applicant requests a 10 percent increase in retirement
pay based on the Boards directive awarding him the AmnM.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a DD Form
149, dated 29 Jan 13 and a copy of the Boards decisional
documents.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit G.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, the Board determined there was sufficient
evidence to warrant awarding the applicant the Airmans Medal
for his role in supporting Operation UNIFIED RESPONSE. The
applicant submits a copy of his initial Board action as evidence
that he should be entitled to the 10 percent increase in his
retirement pay. We took notice of the applicant's complete
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, while the
applicants acts of heroism and personal sacrifice he has
endured for our nation is noted, we do not find his actions rose
to the level that would entitle him to the 10 percent increase.
Aside, while a majority of the Board believed the applicant
should have been awarded the Airmans Medal for his actions in
support of Operation UNIFIED RESPONSE, it was not our intent to
infer that he should have been entitled to the 10 percent
increase that can be awarded based on extraordinary heroism.
Regrettably, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
