RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01471
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant's military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDRA recommends denial. DPSIDRA states that due to the
limited documentation in the applicants record, they are unable
to place him with the 6213th Air Base Squadron. After a review
of the governing AFI, they could not verify the PUC being awarded
to the 6213th Air Base Squadron or the 99th Bomb Wing.
The AFPC/DPSIDRA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant disagrees with the Air Force evaluation stating
that it is flawed. He believes if DPSIDRA had researched his
military assignments they would have found that he was assigned
to the 99th Bomb Wing, 99th FMS, and the 8th AF, from 1968 to 1971.
The PUC was subsequently awarded to the personnel who served in
support of Operation Arc Light.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough
review of the evidence of record and applicant's submission, we do
not find his uncorroborated assertions, in and by themselves,
sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the
Air Force. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision
that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having
suffered either an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence
of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the 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.
