APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Report of Separation 
and Record of Service, be corrected to reflect her address as 
XXXXXX, XXXXX rather than XXXXXXX 
and that the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) 
she was awarded be added to her NGB 22.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The address shown on her NGB Form 22 is incorrect and an AFOUA 
she was awarded is not reflected on her NGB Form 22.

In support of her appeal, the applicant has provided copies of 
her NGB Form 22, her discharge order, a decoration order and 
other paperwork to substantiate her address.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant began her military service on 18 June 1997.  She was 
progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt) 
with a date of rank (DOR) of 2 November 2002.  She was honorably 
discharged from the Illinois Air National Guard (ILANG) on 
15 February 2007 after serving for 10 years and 21 days.

The applicant’s NGB Form 22 does, in fact, display the award of 
the AFOUA however the notation of the award is shown, not in 
Block 15 of the form, but in Block 18 as a continuation of Block 
15.  Therefore, no further action is required in regard to the 
AFOUA.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Air National Guard received this application for an advisory 
opinion on 11 June 2007 and has failed to provide one.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has not exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We did not 
address her request for the inclusion of the AFOUA on her NGB 
Form 22 because the AFOUA is shown on the NGB Form 22 in block 
18 of that form.  Regarding her change of address however, we 
did find that the applicant provided enough evidence to show the 
address on her NGB Form 22 was indeed, incorrect, and what her 
correct address should be.  Therefore, we recommend that the 
records be corrected as indicated below.

______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that Block 19 
of her NGB Form 22, reflects XXXXXXX 
rather than, XXXXXXXXX.
