RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05544
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be amended to include award of the Combat Action Badge and
any other awards he may be entitled to.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Combat Action Badge should be awarded for his service in
Bosnia. The award may have been omitted or awarded to his unit
after he was discharged from the service.
The applicant provides no additional documentation in support of
his appeal.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered active duty on 24 November 1992.
On 23 November 1996, the applicant was honorably released and
transferred to the Air Force Reserve.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant did
not provide documentation (i.e. DA Form 638, Recommendation for
Award, etc.) to indicate that he was authorized the Combat
Action Badge. Therefore, he should not be awarded the Badge
without proper documentation. Also, at this time the Combat
Action Badge is not an authorized badge for wear on the uniform.
The DPSIM complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 15 May 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
C). As of this date, no response has been received by this
office.
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 an error or injustice. We took
careful notice of the applicants complete submission in support
of his request and we are not persuaded that he should be
awarded the Combat Action Badge. His contentions in this regard
are noted; however, in our opinion, the Air Force office of
primary responsibility has adequately addressed these
contentions and we are in agreement with their recommendation.
While the applicant may believe he is deserving of the Combat
Action Badge, sufficient evidence has not been provided which
would persuade us that he is entitled to this award or any other
awards. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,
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 issues 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 an 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.
