CONCLUSIONS:
1. Evidence of record shows the applicant was awarded the first award of the Good Conduct Medal for the period 19 January 1990 to 18 January 1993 based on Permanent Orders Number 192-34, dated 2 November 1993.
2. The applicant's records contain Permanent Orders Number 192-35, dated 2 November 1993, which revoked his first award of the Good Conduct Medal.
3. The applicant's records also contain Permanent Orders Number 208-149, dated 26 July 1996, which restored the first award of the Good Conduct Medal originally awarded to the applicant by Permanent Orders Number 192-34, dated 2 November 1993.
4. The Board noted that the original award of the Good Conduct Medal to the applicant was valid and properly authorized by Permanent Orders Number 192-34, dated 2 November 1993.
5. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined:
a. Permanent Orders Number 192-34, dated 2 November 1993, properly awarded the applicant the first award of the Good Conduct Medal at the time in question.
b. Permanent Orders Number 192-35, dated 2 November 1993, erroneously revoked the applicant's first award of the Good Conduct Medal and, therefore, these orders should be expunged from his records.
c. Permanent Orders Number 208-149, dated 26 July 1996, erroneously restored his first award of the Good Conduct Medal and, therefore, these orders should be expunged from his records.
6. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected:
a. by expunging Permanent Orders Number 192-35, dated 2 November 1993, from the OMPF of the individual concerned; and
b. by expunging Permanent Orders Number 208-149, dated 26 July 1996, from his OMPF.
