           RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-04576
		
	 	 	COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED: YES



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The words “2008 Air Force Junior. Education and Training Manager 
of the Year” be added to the Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) 
covering the period of 9 June 2006 through 15 September 2010. 


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She requests this extremely significant award be added to her 
Air Force Commendation Medal.  Her supervisor and commander 
agree this was an error and should be corrected.  She submits a 
proposed replacement citation signed by the previous group 
commander.

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



STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of master sergeant.  She was awarded the Air Force 
Commendation Medal (1st Oak Leaf Cluster) on 8 September 2010, 
for the inclusive dates of 9 June 2006 through 15 September 
2010.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends approval.  The applicant provided 
memorandums from her supervisor and commander for the inclusive 
period of the decoration and both memorandums are from 
individuals who were in the applicant’s direct chain of command.  
One memorandum is from the approval authority verifying the 
applicant’s contention that the omission was an error.  Should 
the Board grant relief, the provided corrected citation should 
be used to correct the applicant’s decoration.

The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reiterates that her previous citation did not list 
her Air Force level Training Manager of the Year award.  She 
hopes her appeal can be processed and corrected by 18 April 
2014, to allow her supplemental promotion consideration for the 
14E8 cycle which is scheduled to meet 5-23 May 2014.  The next 
supplemental board will not meet again until May/June 2015.

The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at 
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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an injustice to warrant relief.  We 
took note of the applicant’s complete submission to include the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility assessment and agree 
with their recommendation.  The applicant has submitted 
statements from her chain of command attesting to the fact that 
they inadvertently omitted a significant event and should have 
included her award as the 2008 Air Force Junior Education and 
Training Manager of the Year.  Accordingly, we recommend the 
records be corrected as indicated below. 

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 involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:

a.	The Air Force Commendation Medal, First Oak Leaf 
Cluster, with the inclusion periods of 9 June 2006 to 
15 September 2010 and the given under my hand date of 
8 September 2010, be declared void and removed from her records 
and the attached reaccomplished Air Force Commendation Medal be 
accepted for file in its place.

b.	It is further directed, that she be provided 
supplemental consideration for promotion to the grade of senior 
master sergeant for all appropriate cycles beginning with cycle 
14E8 with the Air Force Commendation Medal, First Oak Leaf 
Cluster, included in her record.

The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2013-04576 in Executive Session on 24 June 2014 under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:


All members voted to correct the record, as recommended. The 
following documentary evidence was considered:

    Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 13 Sep 13, w/atchs.
    Exhibit B.  Letter, AFPC/DPSID, dated 21 Jan 14.
    Exhibit C.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 14 Feb 14.
    Exhibit D.  Applicant’s Response, dated 3 Apr 14, w/atchs.
