RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03802
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force [sic] Meritorious Service Medal
(MSM) in accordance with his retirement.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He retired from the California Air National Guard with no
commemorative decoration. The Assistant Adjutant Generals
policy, at the time of his transfer to the Retired Reserve
section, in April 1993, considered only field grade officers and
above and senior enlisted members for award of the MSM. His
subsequent requests for award of the MSM to ANG representatives
in the ensuing years went unanswered.
The applicants complete submission is at exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Air National Guard who,
on 13 April 1993, was transferred to the Air Reserve Personnel
Center (ARPC) Retired Reserve section awaiting pay at age 60.
He was officially retired for pay purposes effective
22 March 2011, on his sixtieth birthday.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PS recommends denial. A1PS states nomination and
subsequent award of the MSM are not automatic at retirement nor
are they restricted to certain grades. In accordance with (IAW)
AFI 36-2803, The Air Force Awards and Decorations Program,
chapter 2, paragraph 2.2, recommendations for meritorious
service are restricted to service that clearly places the
individual above his or her peers and should not be submitted in
an effort to do something for your people. Decorations are
not based upon an individuals grade but on their level of
responsibility and manner of performance.
The complete ANG/A1PS evaluation is at exhibit C.
NGB/A1P states they concur with the NGB/A1PS advisory and
recommend relief not be granted based on the Air Force policy.
The complete ANG/A1P evaluation is at exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 11 January 2013 for review and comment within 30
days (Exhibit E). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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 opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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.
