2. The applicant requests reconsideration of his previous application to correct his military records by awarding him the army Service Ribbon and two awards of the Overseas Service Ribbon. He submits a copy of his National Guard Bureau Report of Separation and Record of Service (NGB Form 22) to show that he had an active status after 1 April 1981.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he is entitled to the awards because he did have an active Army status subsequent to 1 August 1981.
4. The Record of Proceedings of the Board’s 10 April 2001 review of the case (AR2000050800) is incorporated herein by reference as if wholly set forth.
5. The applicant’s submission is new evidence that requires Board consideration.
6. The applicant’s NGB Form 22 shows that he served in the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 2 July 1982 to 1 July 1983 and was separated with an honorable characterization of service as a sergeant (E-5).
7. As noted in the original decisional document Army Regulation 600-8-22 shows that the Overseas Service Ribbon and the Army Service Ribbon were established on 10 April 1981 and may be awarded retroactively to those qualified personnel who had an Active Army status on or after 1 August 1981.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. As noted in the previous decisional document the applicant could not be authorized the requested awards because there was no available evidence of an active Army status subsequent to 1 April 1981. The NGB Form 22 corrects that shortcoming.
2. The applicant is entitled to an award of the Army Service Ribbon and the two awards of the Overseas Service Ribbon.
3. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, correcting the applicant’s records as recommended below would rectify an injustice.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that he individual concerned is authorized the Army service Ribbon and the Overseas Service Ribbon with numeral 2.
