RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05577

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NONE



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect award of the Presidential 
Unit Citation (PUC).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes he may qualify for the PUC based on some literature 
he read that indicated McCoy AFB received the PUC.  He was 
assigned to McCoy AFB from May 72 to Jul 73 with the 306th Combat 
Support Group. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served on active duty in the Regular Air Force 
from 7 Jul 69 through 6 Jul 73.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice.  The PUC is awarded to units of the Armed 
Forces for outstanding performance in action against an armed 
enemy occurring on, or after 7 Dec 41.  After a thorough review 
of the applicant’s personnel records there was no official 
documentation showing the applicant served in unit that was 
awarded the PUC.  The applicant served with the 306th Supply 
Squadron, McCoy AFB from 27 Mar 72 to 6 Jul 73; however, there 
is no evidence that this unit was awarded the PUC.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID 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 6 Jun 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the 
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.  
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged 
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, 
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-
2603.  Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay 
in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises 
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the 
merits.  Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of 
justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely 
manner.  


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the 
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the 
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as 
untimely.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2013-05577 in Executive Session on 4 Nov 14 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:
