RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00835

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect that he was awarded the 
National Defense Service Medal (NDSM) and any other awards he 
may be authorized (NDSM administratively corrected).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Other ribbons and awards may have been withheld for completion 
of basic officer course or missile launch officer training.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 
22 Jun 62.

On 30 May 65, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge 
and was credited with 2 years, 11 months, and 12 days of active 
service.   
 
On 27 May 14, AFPC/DPSID administratively corrected the 
applicant’s records to reflect he was awarded the NDSM. 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial for any additional awards.  After a 
thorough review of the applicant’s Military Personnel Record, it 
could not be verified that he should have been entitled to any 
additional awards or decorations during his active duty service.  


A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  Therefore, 
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale 
as the basis for our conclusion that relief beyond that already 
granted administratively is not warranted. Therefore, we find no 
basis to favorably consider this application. 


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
