RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NO.:  01-01209
					INDEX CODE:  107.00
				
    					COUNSEL:  NONE

    	 				HEARING DESIRED:  NO

The applicant requests he be promoted effective upon his retirement, he receive the Armed Forces Reserve Medal (AFRM), and he be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).  The applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

Examiner’s note:  It was determined that applicant was entitled to the AFRM.  He has been provided the medal set by the appropriate agency.

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received no response.

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 opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.  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.

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 21 Aug 01, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
