RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-00836
		INDEX NUMBER:  107.00, 131.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that he be awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) covering the period 30 Apr 92 - 1 Apr 94, and his line number for promotion to master sergeant (MSgt) be reinstated.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinions were forwarded to the applicant for review and response, within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and opinions stated in the advisory opinions appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.  In the absence of documentation substantiating that the applicant was awarded the AFCM (2OLC) for the period in question, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable action on his request.

However, should the applicant provide an order awarding him the AFCM (2OLC), or statements from his commander and the approving official during the period in question, indicating that the AFCM (2OLC) had been approved, the Board would be willing to reconsider the case.

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.  Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence, which was not available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board considered this application on 26 July 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
