                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02449
            INDEX CODE:  107.00
      APPLICANT  COUNSEL:  NONE

      SSN   HEARING DESIRED:  NO


Applicant requests he be awarded the Air Force Outstanding Unit  Award
and  the  Presidential  Unit  Citation  with  2  Oak  Leaf   Clusters.
Applicant’s submission is at Exhibit A.

As  noted  by  the  Air  Staff, in  their   advisory   opinion  of  23
December 2000, they have verified applicant’s entitlement to  the  Air
Force Outstanding Unit Award with V device and 3 Oak Leaf Clusters and
the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm.  These  decorations
have been added to his DD 214.

Therefore, the only issue to  be  considered  by  this  Board  is  his
allegation to his entitlement to the Presidential Unit Citation.   The
appropriate  Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's  request   and
provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application
be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory  opinion  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).  As of  this  date,  no
response has been received by this office.

After careful consideration of applicant's request and  the  available
evidence  of  record,  we  find  insufficient  evidence  of  error  or
injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and opinions stated
in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence  of  record
and have not been adequately rebutted by applicant.  Absent persuasive
evidence applicant was denied rights to  which  entitled,  appropriate
regulations were not  followed,  or  appropriate  standards  were  not
applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record.

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.

The Board staff is directed to  inform  applicant  of  this  decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will
only be reconsidered upon the presentation of  new  relevant  evidence
which was not available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board Mr. Terry A. Yonkers, Ms. Carolyn J. Watkins, and
Mr. John E. Pettit considered this application  on
14 March  2001,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force
Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
