ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2001-03024

	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Board reconsider his request for award of the Bronze Star Medal.

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 5 February 2002, the Board considered and denied a request for correction of military records submitted by the applicant, finding that the applicant had provided insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to justify relief.

For an accounting of the applicant’s original request and the rationale of the earlier decision, see the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) Letter and Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E.

On 20 July 2017, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request.  He again contends that he should be awarded the Bronze Star Medal and that it should be annotated on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.  

In support of his request for reconsideration, the applicant makes no contentions and provides no evidence not already considered by the previous panel of the Board during the 2002 proceedings.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice.  The applicant has submitted another copy of Headquarters Military Airlift Command Special Order G-XX, dated 10 Feb 84, which awarded him the Bronze Star Medal.  However, he does not address Special Order G-XXX, dated 27 Jul 84, same headquarters, which revoked the previous special order.   The Board is left with the applicant’s argument from the 2002 proceedings to the effect that the revocation was unjust; since the applicant submits no new evidence in support of that argument, the Board finds no basis to modify its previous decision.  Therefore, the Board once again recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION:

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered Docket Number BC-2001-03024 in Executive Session on 12 July 2018:

All members voted not to correct the record.  The panel considered the following:

Exhibit E:	Record of Proceedings, w/ Exhibits A-D, dated 6 February 2002.
Exhibit F:	Application, DD Form 149, w/atchs, dated 20 July 2017.

Taken together with all Exhibits, this document constitutes the true and complete Record of Proceedings required by AFI 36-2603, paragraph 4.11.9.
