RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03134
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be entitled to the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon
(SAEMR).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The SAEMR should be included on her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
AFPC/DPSID verified that she is entitled to the Global War on
Terrorism Service Medal and will update her records accordingly.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicants request for
entitlement to the SAEMR. DPSID states the SAEMR is awarded to
all Air Force service members who, after 1 Jan 1963, qualify as
"expert" in small arms marksmanship with either the M-16 rifle
or issue handgun. DPSID was unable to locate documentation
verifying she qualified as "expert" with the M-16 rifle or issue
handgun. Without the proper documentation it would be an
injustice to grant her request as there is no verification that
she met the qualification for the award of the SAEMR.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 27 Aug 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant 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. 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 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.
