AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00276
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record be corrected to reflect award of the Meritorious
Service Medal (MSM), second Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The MSM (2OLC) was issued after his retirement. He was awarded
the MSM for his accomplishments for the following periods
6 Jul 97-7 Nov 00, 25 Nov 00-1 May 04, and 25 Nov 00-30 Apr 04.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular
Air Force on 20 Nov 80. He was released from active duty on
30 Apr 04, and retired on 1 May 04. He was credited with
23 years, 5 months, and 11 days of active service. The
applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects he was awarded the MSM w/1OLC.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force which are attached at Exhibits C and D.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. While the applicant’s records contain
documentation indicating that he was awarded the MSM twice (basic
award and first OLC), the certificate provided by the applicant,
closing 1 May 04, does not appear to have been officially awarded
and is not a valid entitlement as it closes out after his last
day on active duty. Additionally, the inclusive period of this
certificate overlaps with the period for which his MSM (1OLC) was
awarded. To validate the proposed MSM certificate closing
1 May 04 would be a violation of policy on dual recognition. The
applicant's DD Form 214 is annotated correctly with award of the
MSM w/1OLC.
The complete AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
SAF/MRBP recommends denial of the applicant’s request for award
of the MSM (2OLC) indicating there is no evidence of an error or
an injustice. The undated MSM certificate for the period 25 Nov
00 to 1 May 04 appears to be an unofficial document and is not
updated in the applicant’s records. However, the MSM certificate
for the 25 Nov 00 to 30 Apr 04, dated 16 Dec 04, appears to be an
official document with an accompanying SO dated 17 Dec 04;
therefore this MSM should be his first OLC award. The
applicant’s record should be updated with the MSM First Oak Leaf
Cluster certificate for the period 25 Nov 00 to 30 Apr 04, dated
16 Dec 04, and is supported by an accompanying SO dated
17 Dec 04.
The complete SAF/MRBP evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 17 Sep 12, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).
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 an 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
primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
While the applicant has provided a signed MSM certificate in
support of his request, said certificate reflects an inclusive
period that closes after his service and overlaps with the
inclusive period of his MSM (1OLC). Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief sought in this application.
