AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2010-04579
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect award of the Presidential
Unit Citation (PUC).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was assigned to the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW);
therefore, he is entitled to the PUC.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of the
366th TFW PUC award signed by President Nixon, and a Permanent
Change of Stations (PCS) order.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force, who
served on active duty from 4 December 1968 to 16 November 1972
for a total of 3 years, 11 months, and 13 days. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of sergeant (E-4) with a date
of rank of 1 May 1971. His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the
United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, reflects he served
1 year and 8 months of Foreign Service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states after a review of
the applicants master personnel records and documentation
submitted, they were able to verify his entitlement to the Air
Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) and the Republic of Vietnam
Gallantry Cross with Palm (RVNGC w/P). The applicants record
will be updated to reflect these awards by the appropriate
office. However, while they acknowledge the 366th TFW was
awarded the PUC for the period 1 April 1972 to 26 June 1972, theyfound no evidence that the applicant served with the 366thTFW.
The complete DPSIDR evaluationis at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation wasforwarded to the applicantfor 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 existinglaw 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 an error or an injustice. Accordingto the evidence of record, the applicant was assigned to the
366thOperational Maintenance Squadron. The applicant has not
submitted evidence, nor is there evidence in the record, to
verify he was ever assigned to the 366thTFW. A review of Air
Force Pamphlet 900-2, Volume II, indicates that although the
366thTFW received the PUC for the period 1 April 1972 to 26 June
1972, the 366thOMS did not.Therefore, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt itsrationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an erroror injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant benotified 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.
