AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01636
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. The Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) be added to his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
2. The Air Force Achievement Medal with three Bronze Oak Leaf
Clusters (AFAM w/3 BOLC) be added to his DD Form 214. (Will be
administratively corrected)
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The aforementioned medals were omitted from his DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served in the Regular Air Force from 12 December
2006 to 1 December 2013 for a total of 6 years, 11 months and
20 days of active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicants request to add
the AFCM to his DD Form 214. The AFCM is awarded to members of
the Armed Forces of the United States below the grade of colonel
and foreign military personnel who, while serving in any
capacity with the Air Force after 24 March 1958, shall have
distinguished themselves by outstanding achievement or
meritorious service. There is no official documentation, such
as the special order in the applicant's record verifying he was
recommended for or awarded the AFCM. To grant relief would be
would be contrary to the criteria established by DoDM 1348.33,
Manual of Military Decorations and Awards, the Secretary of the
Air Force, Chief of Staff, and/or the War Department.
DPSID was able to verify the applicant's entitlement to the AFAM
w/3 BOLC. Upon the final Board decision, administrative
correction of the applicant's official military personnel record
will be completed by AFPC/DPSOR.
The complete DPSID evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 19 September 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit D).
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 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 and adopt the
rationale expressed 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 relief sought in this
application.
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.
