HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect award of Presidential Unit
citation with one Oak Leaf Cluster (PUC w/1 OLC)).
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received the PUC for his service with the 6250 Field
Maintenance Squadron (FMS) but did not receive an additional PUC
for his service with the 460TH FMS.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States
Report of Transfer or Discharge, reflects the applicant enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 25 Jun 63 and was released from
active duty on 29 Dec 66 with an honorable discharge.
The PUC is awarded to units of the United States Armed Forces
for outstanding performance in action against an armed enemy,
occurring on or after 7 Dec 41, for United States Air Force
units. The unit must have displayed such gallantry,
determination, and espirit de corps in accomplishing its mission
under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions to have set
it apart and above other units participating in the same
campaign.
On 21 Aug 00, a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, was issued
adding the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, Presidential Unit
Citation, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Republic
of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm to the applicants DD Form
214 dated 29 Dec 66.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error an injustice. While the applicants records reflect he
is entitled to the PUC (basic award) for his service with the
460th FMS, there is no evidence the other units the applicant
served with were awarded the PUC during his tenure with those
units. However, a review of his records revealed that the Air
Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) should have been awarded to
the applicant for his service from 25 Jun 63 to 29 Dec 66. Upon
final board decision, his records will be corrected
administratively.
The AFPC/DPSIDs complete evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 28 Aug 12, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 an error or injustice warranting
award of an additional PUC. A thorough review of the
documentation submitted and the evidence of record verified the
applicant was awarded the PUC (basic award) for his service with
the 460th FMS. However, there was no evidence submitted or
contained in his records showing that he served, or was assigned
to, a unit that was awarded the PUC to entitle him to an
additional device for the award. 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 be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
