COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to reflect:
1) The Presidential Unit Citation (PUC).
2) The Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The awards were omitted from his last DD Form 214.
In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of
Special Order (SO) GB-130, a Unit Awards letter, his DD Form
214 and page two of his AF Form 1712, Uniform Military Personnel
Record.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 30 Jun 73, the applicant was retired from the Regular Air
Force. He served 20 years, 3 months and 4 days on active duty.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants military records, are contained in
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR notes the applicants
submission of SO GB-130 awarding the PUC to members of the
6234th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) with an
inclusive period of 8 Nov 65 to 8 Apr 66; however, DPSIDR states
the applicant was assigned to the 388th Field Maintenance
Squadron (FMS) during this timeframe. The 388thFMS did not earn
the PUC during his assigned timeframe.
The complete DPSIDRevaluationis at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant again requests correction of his recordsto includethe PUC and AFOUAand provides an AF Form 1098, Personnel Action
Request.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments is at
Exhibit E.
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 error or injustice regarding the
applicants request for the AFOUA and PUC. Although the
applicant states the AFOUA is not listed on his DD Form 214, we
note that on 27 February 1991, a DD Form 215, Correction to DD
Form 214,was issued to add the AFOUA with Valor and one Oak LeafCluster. Therefore, it appears this issue has been
administratively resolved and there is no basis for the Board to
consider this request. With respect to his request for the PUC,
we note the applicant provides documentation (AF Form 1098)that
reflects the6234thField Maintenance Squadron (FMS). However,
the documentation he submitted is not supported by the
information contained in his military personnel record. As such,
we find the evidence presented insufficient to corroborate his
claim that he was assigned to the 6234thFMS.We are not
unmindful or unappreciative of hisservice to the Nation;
however, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to grant the requested relief.

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.
