RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00820
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Air Force Recruiter Ribbon/Devices be added to his records
since it is retroactive for all recruiters.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was sent a letter saying his records do not reflect
recruiting duty for the ribbon. His DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflects that he served 9
years and 11 months as a 99500, recruiter.
In support of his application, he provides his DD Form 214, as
well as several letters from general officers congratulating him
on his efforts in recruiting.
He believes the Board should find it in the interest of justice
to consider his untimely application because a recruiter advised
him that the ribbon is retroactive for all.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 Oct 72, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
On 1 Aug 89, the applicant retired.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. On 21 Jun 00, the Secretary of the
Air Force established the Air Force Recruiter Ribbon to
recognize those officer and enlisted personnel who performed the
challenging duty of Air Force recruiting. Individuals are
authorized to wear the recruiting ribbon on a temporary basis
while performing recruiting duty immediately upon graduation
from Air Force recruiting school. Wear of the ribbon becomes
permanent after successful completion of 36 months of duty as an
Air Force recruiter. Each additional 3 years of assignment as
an 8R00 (enlisted recruiter special duty identifier) or 83R0
(officer special duty identifier) entitles the service member to
an Oak Leaf Cluster. The Air Force Recruiter Ribbon is
retroactive for any individual who has successfully completed
36 months of duty as an Air Force recruiter and is currently on
active duty or a member of the reserve component as of the
establishment date of 21 Jun 00.
The applicant is ineligible for the Air Force Recruiter Ribbon
because it had not been established at the time he retired.
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 20 Jun 14 for review and comment 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 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
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
