RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01083
		INDEX CODE:  107.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests he be awarded the Good Conduct Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters.   Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The Chief, Review Boards Office, SAF/MIBR, informed the applicant, by letter, dated 26 Jul 01, that the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), St. Louis, Missouri, was unable to locate his personnel records.  The Chief requested the applicant confer with his military personnel representatives for assistance in locating pertinent records and if he had other documents relating to his Air Force service other than the DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty), he should furnish these documents (Exhibit B).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

After careful consideration of applicant's request, and the limited information furnished, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record.

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.

It has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

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 6 November 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36‑2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
