I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.


		IN THE CASE OF:  

		BOARD DATE:  2 February 2017

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20150014724


THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

1.  Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

2.  Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show all authorized medals and awards.

2.  The applicant states he does not feel an error occurred; however, he wants to know if he is entitled to any additional ribbons, awards, or medals. 

3.  The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and his Honorable Discharge Certificate.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.  While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file.  In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.

2.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 27 December 1990.  

3.  His DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record) shows in item 41 (Awards and Decorations) – Army Service Ribbon (ASR), Army Lapel Button (ALB), National Defense Service Medal (NDSM) and the Parachutist Badge.

4.  He was honorably released from active duty and transferred to the United States Army Reserve Control Group (Annual Training) on 1 May 1992.  His DD Form 214 shows he was awarded or authorized the ASR, ALB, NDSM, and the Parachutist Badge.  He did not serve overseas.

5.  The available records are void of any evidence showing he was awarded or authorized any additional awards.

DISCUSSION:

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 to show all medals and awards authorized.  The available records are void of any evidence that shows he was awarded or authorized any additional awards.
