AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1990-01004
INDEX CODE: 111.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation. However, the requested
medal does not exist and it appears the applicant is requesting award of
the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), and two Presidential Unit Citations
(PUCs).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 Dec 90, the Board considered and denied an application pertaining to
the applicant, in which he requested that his records be corrected to show
he was awarded the DFC and two PUCs. A complete copy of the Record of
Proceedings is attached at Exhibit E (with Exhibits A through D).
By application, dated 11 Sep 07 and 14 May 08, the applicant requests
reconsideration of his case contending that others received the DFC after
completing 15 missions and the last two missions he flew, along with the
recommendation for award of the DFC, were lost.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a personal statement,
newspaper clippings, and excerpts from his available military personnel
records.
The applicant’s submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence of record and considered the
weight and relevance of the additional documentation provided by the
applicant, and whether or not it was discoverable at the time of any
previous application. However, since no new and relevant evidence has been
provided, we find the request does not meet the criteria for
reconsideration. As the applicant has been previously advised,
reconsideration is provided only where newly discovered relevant evidence
is presented which was not available when the application was submitted.
Further, the reiteration of facts we have previously addressed,
uncorroborated personal observations, or additional arguments on the
evidence of record are not adequate grounds for reopening a case.
Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of new and relevant
evidence, we find no basis to reconsider the applicant’s request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the additional evidence presented did not
meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
