IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-00254
INDEX CODE: 107.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: NO
SSN HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he submits documentation to
support that he was assigned to 6521st ABW, 377th ABW and the 67th SPS. He
feels that the documentation he submitted should prove he was assigned to
the units and he is entitled to all the awards that these units received.
He further asserts that he departed Vietnam on 13 February 1973, not
2 February 1973. He further requests that he receive the Vietnam Service
Medal with two bronze service stars.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was honorably discharged 24 May 1974, in the grade of airman
first class. He served 2 years, 10 months and 7 days of active duty
service.
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 4 October
2001. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
applicant's separation, and, the rationale of the earlier decision by the
Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit H.
On 24 October 2000 (sic), the applicant submitted a request for
reconsideration, contending that he was assigned to the units that received
these awards. He further states that he served in Vietnam for one year and
14 days and the Vietnam service medal should be awarded with two bronze
stars. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR again reviewed the applicant's records and the documentation
submitted to determine his eligibility for the PUC. There was not any
evidence or documentation to support his eligibility to receive the PUC.
The applicant was not assigned to any units that participated during any
approved campaign periods that would make him eligible for the bronze
service stars to the VSM.
The applicant was awarded the AFOUA with "V" device and it will be added to
his DD Form 214.
AFPC/DPPPR advisory opinion is at Exhibit J.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1
February 2002, for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support
of the appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the units to which the applicant
was assigned qualified or participated during any approved campaign to
receive the PUC or VSM w/bronze stars. Therefore, we have no basis on
which to favorably consider the requested relief.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the application
was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will
only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant
evidence not considered with this application.
