RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03024
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records, to include his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty, be updated to reflect award of
the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM), first Oak Leaf Cluster
(OLC).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to a severe backlog of decorations and a change-over of
personnel, his retirement decoration was not finalized until
after he retired.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 10 Nov 93, the applicant entered the Air Force Reserve.
The applicant served on active duty from 6 Oct 01 to 4 Aug 02,
and was released from active duty and reverted to his
traditional (part-time) status as a member of the Reserve.
According to the applicants Officer Performance Reports (OPR)
for the period 17 Sep 09 through 4 Sep 13, he was not on
continuous active duty.
The applicant provided a copy of the certificate awarding him
the MSM first OLC for his outstanding service for the period
15 Feb 10 through 27 Feb 14.
On 28 Feb 14, the applicant was transferred to the Retired
Reserve List to await retired pay at age 60.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. According to AFI 36-3202, Separation
Documents, Table 4, Rule 23, only decorations, unit awards,
badges and service awards earned during the period of
mobilization are listed on the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214
should not be amended to add medals created after the effective
date, unless they verify Veterans benefits.
A review of the applicants records did not reveal the applicant
was issued a DD Form 214 during the period in question for award
of the MSM first OLC. His last DD Form 214 was issued for the
period 6 Oct 01 through 4 Aug 02. The MSM in question is
awarded for a period outside of the period of his last DD Form
214. While the MSM cannot be added to his DD Form 214 it has
been updated in his official record.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS evaluation, with attachment, is
at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 17 Nov 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 timely filed.
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.
