HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

a. The Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) while
assigned to the 22nd Transpiration Squadron. (Administratively
corrected)
b. The Presidential Unit Citation (PUC).
c. The Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He only received the National Defense Service Medal and was not
awarded the AFOUA, PUC and the AFLSA. He would like these awards
added to his records.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer
or Discharge.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 March 1972.
He was honorably discharged from the Air Force on 23 December
1975. He served three years, nine months and four days of total
active service.
The PUC is awarded in the name of the President of the United
States, to units of the Armed Forces of the United States and of
cobelligerent nations, for extraordinary heroism in action
against an armed enemy on or after 7 December 1941.
The AFLSA is awarded to service members who completed four years
of honorable active or Reserve military service with any branch
of the United States Armed Forces.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDRA recommends denial. DPSIDRA states the applicant was
not assigned or attached to a unit that received the PUC. In
regards to his entitlement of the AFLSA, the applicant did not
complete four years of active or Reserve military service.
The complete DPSIDRA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 9 July 2010 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, 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
been the victim of an error or injustice. We note the
applicants records will be administratively corrected to reflect
award of the AFOUA. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting his request.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
