RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00301 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (MOVSM). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: While on active duty, he completed over 2,000 hours of volunteer service to the community, which merited award of the MOVSM. However, due to poor supervisor leadership, he was never nominated for the award. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 10 Jan 06. On 17 May 09, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with three years, four months, and eight days of active service. 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 indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The MOVSM may be awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who, subsequent to 31 Dec 92, perform outstanding volunteer community service of a sustained, direct, and consequential nature. To qualify for the award, a service member’s volunteer service must: be to the civilian community, to include the military family community, be significant in nature and produce tangible results; reflect favorably on the service member’s Military Department and the Department of Defense. A thorough review of the applicant’s official military personnel record revealed no documentation to verify the applicant was awarded the MOVSM, and the applicant did not provide any documentation to verify he was recommended for or awarded the medal. 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. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
