been awarded the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award for

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial.  DPSID states the applicant was 
assigned to the Air Force Element, North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization, Air Base, and was awarded the contested award.

After a thorough review of the applicant’s master personnel 
record, they were unable to verify award of the contested award.  
Although originally approved per Special Order G-076 - the 
original approval authority has since revoked the award via AF 
IMT 973 - Special Order G-148.  Therefore, the applicant is not 
eligible for the contested award as it has been revoked.

The DPSID complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 24 July 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; 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, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________

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

newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
