RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04823
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM).
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The requested awards were awarded to his squadron during his
time in country. He would like to receive these awards as he
has earned them.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served on active duty from 30 December 1970 to 5 December 1974.
His DD Form 214 reflects he served 3 years, 11 months, and 6
days on active duty with 1 year, 1 month and 1 day of Foreign
Service.
The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicants
military personnel records, are contained in the evaluation
provided by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denying the applicants request for the
AFGCM. DPSID states that after a thorough review of the
applicants military personnel records, they were unable to
verify the applicant was awarded the AFGCM. According to his
Air Force Form 7, Airmen Military Record, his period of service
from 30 December 1970 to 11 January 1972 was not creditable for
award of the AFGCM due to him receiving an Article 15, dated 11
January 1972. Since the applicant received an Article 15, he
does not have enough creditable service to receive the AFGCM.
DPSID indicates they have verified the applicants entitlement
to the AFOUA w/V and the RVNGC w/P and will correct his record
upon Board action to reflect those awards.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 2 May 2014, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 in regard to the
applicants request for award of the AFGCM. 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 (OPR) responsibility and adopt
its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that relief beyond
that already granted administratively is not warranted.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the applicants request for award
of the AFGCM.
________________________________________________________________
_
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.
