RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01736 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect she was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (GWOT-E), Air Force Overseas Short Tour Ribbon (AFOR-ST), Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM) , National Defense Service Medal (NDSM), Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA), Air Force Training Ribbon, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOT-S), Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) (administratively resolved), Afghanistan Campaign Medal (administratively resolved), Air Force Expeditionary Service Ribbon with Gold Border (administratively resolved), and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Non-Article 5 International Security Assistance Force-Afghanistan (NATO Medal-ISAF)) (administratively resolved). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She was separated shortly after returning from Afghanistan and the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) did not have enough time to update her DD Form 214 to reflect all her awards. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served on active duty from 4 Jan 06 until her honorable discharge on 3 Feb 10. She was credited with 4 years and 1 month of active service and 5 months and 29 days of foreign service. Her DD Form 214, dated 3 Feb 10, reflects award of the AFGCM, NDSM, GWOT-S, AFLSA, and the AFTR. 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 award of the AFOR-ST, GWOT-E, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) verified the applicant served in Afghanistan from 7 Jul 09 to 12 Jan 10. The AFOR-ST is awarded to Air Force and Air Force Reserve members credited with completion of an overseas tour on or after 1 Sep 80. The applicant’s entitlement to the AFOR-ST could not be verified. Her deployment to Afghanistan for 179 days does not meet the criteria for AFOR-ST. The GWOT-E is awarded to Air Force service members who have deployed abroad to areas of eligibility (AOE) in support of the Global War on Terrorism on or after 11 Sep 01. Service members must have been permanently assigned, attached or detailed to a unit that participated in the specified AOE for 30 consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive days; be engaged in actual combat against the enemy and under circumstances involving grave danger or death or serious bodily injury from enemy action, regardless of time served in AOE; killed, wounded or injured requiring medical evacuation from AOE. After 30 Apr 05, no service members will not qualify for the GWOT; but will earn the AFGCM. Service members cannot receive the AfgCM, Iraq Campaign Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (AFEM), or the GWOT-E for the same action, time or period of service. The applicant is not eligible for the GWOT-E because she earned the AfgCM for her deployment to Afghanistan. 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(s) was/were forwarded to the applicant on 4 Oct 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 timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The applicant is requesting award of the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (GWOT-E) and the Air Force Overseas Short Tour Ribbon (AFSOR-ST). We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, 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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. The applicant is not eligible for the GWOT-E because her service in Afghanistan was after the award period or the GWOT- E. The applicant’s deployment to Afghanistan does not meet the criteria for award of the AFOR-ST. In regards to her request for award of the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Longevity Service Award, Air Force Training Ribbon, and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, these awards are reflected on her DD Form 214 and therefore no action is required. As for her request for all awards she received while on active duty, we note the Air Force office of primary responsibility has determined the applicant’s entitlement to the Air Force Achievement Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with two Bronze Service Stars, Air Force Expeditionary Service Ribbon with Gold Border, North Atlantic Treaty Organization Non- Article 5 International Security Assistance Force-Afghanistan and will correct his records administratively. Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting relief beyond that rendered administratively. 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.
