APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
One award was overlooked at the time of his discharge and the other

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

89 through 30 Jun 95.
On 8 Jan 08, HQ AFPC/DPSIDR informed the applicant that his
entitlement to the KLM-K had been verified and the award will be added
to his DD Form 214.

while he was deployed to Saudi Arabia.
The complete AFPC/DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 18
Jan 08, for review and response within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 warranting award of the PUC.
Having found no evidence that the applicant's unit was awarded the
PUC, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopts its rationale as the basis
for their conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice with respect to his request for the PUC. Therefore,
other than the administrative correction to add the KLM-K to his
records we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the
additional relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.
