APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his records be corrected to show that he qualified for the Expert Qualification Badge with Rifle Bar.
APPLICANT STATES: He knows he achieved 30 hits out of 39 shots with one miss-fire. He could see daylight through the hole in his 300-meter target.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted and entered active duty on 8 July 1980 and was separated with a general discharge under the expeditious discharge program on 21 April 1981. His DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) lists his authorized awards as the Marksman Qualification Badge with Rifle Bar and the Sharpshooter Qualification Badge with Grenade Bar.
There are no available orders authorizing those awards and no available evidence to substantiate the applicant's request.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
2. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
