His records be corrected to reflect the Air Reserve Forces 
Meritorious Service Medal (ARFMSM). 


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He served during the period of eligibility and should be 
entitled to award of the ARFMSM.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement and memorandum. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 13 Mar 53, the, applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserves 
(AFR).  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial.  A review of the applicant’s 
military personnel records and the documentation provide failed 
to substantiate the applicant’s entitlement to award of the 
AFRMSM.  

The AFRMSM was established 7 Apr 64, effective on or after 1 Apr 
65, based on four continuous years of service or on or after 
1 Jul 75, based on three year continuous years of service, to 
recognize exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity in an 
enlisted status in the Air National Guard and AFR.

The applicant’s service in the AFR was prior to the effective 
date with the exception of four months served after the 
effective date until he was discharged.

The complete DPTS 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 29 Sep 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 applicant’s 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.
