RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02641
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the following awards:
1. The Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) administratively
corrected.
2. The Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm (RVGC w/P)
administratively corrected.
3. The Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with three Oak Leaf
Clusters (AFOUA w/3 OLCs) administratively corrected (AFOUA

_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes he is entitled to the contested awards.
In support of his request, the applicant provides documents
extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 31 July 1975, the applicant was relieved from active duty and
retired on 1 August 1975, in the grade of master sergeant. He
served 20 years, 10 months and 3 days on active duty.
AFPC/DPSIDR verified the applicants entitlement to the PUC,
AFOUA w/1 OLC, the Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Service
Stars (VSM w/2 BSS), and the RVGC w/P.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial of the AFOUA w/3 OLCs. DPSIDR
states after a review of the applicants military personnel
record and the Air Force Pamphlet (AFP) 900-2, they were unable
to determine his entitlement to the AFOUA w/3 OLCs. The
applicant was never directly assigned to the 81st Training Wing,
the 351st Strategic Missile Wing, the 62nd Military Airlift Wing,
and the 380th Bomb Wing. However, they were able to verify his
entitlement to the AFOUA w/1 OLC for his service with the 351st
Civil Engineering Squadron and the 380th Civil Engineering
Squadron. The applicant was directly assigned to these squadrons
during his active duty from 28 September 1954 to 31 July 1975.
The DPSIDR complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 21 September 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no
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. The applicants
contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing the evidence
of record we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as
the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not provided
evidence showing his entitlement to the AFOUA w/3 OLCs. Other
than the administrative corrections (PUC, AFOUA w/1 OLC and the
RVGC w/P) made to his records, we find no basis to recommend
granting any additional relief.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
