THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In support of his request, applicant provides an excerpt from his unit
newspaper and copies of his Senior Enlisted Performance Reports for the

_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 31 January 2006, the applicant was relieved from active duty and was
retired in the grade of master sergeant (E-7) effective 1 February 2006.
Applicant was credited with 21 years 7 months and 16 days of total active
duty service for basic pay and 21 years, 1 month and 22 days active service
for retirement.
On 6 September 2006, Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center issued the
applicant a DD Form 215, reflecting the Meritorious Service Medal.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial. DPPPR advises the applicant's unit did
receive the AFOUA; however, the award was revoked several months after it
was approved, which makes the applicant
ineligible for the award. The AFPC/DPPPR complete evaluation is at Exhibit
C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was sent to the applicant on 8 September
2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has not received a response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. We have reviewed the available evidence
pertaining to the applicant’s assertions relating to his request for the
Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, and we are not persuaded that favorable
consideration of the applicant’s request is appropriate. His contentions
in this regard are duly noted; however, in our opinion, the Air Force
office of primary responsibility has adequately addressed these contentions
and we are in agreement with its recommendation. In view of the above, we
find no basis to warrant favorable consideration of this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
