RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01611
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The following awards be added to his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty:
Presidential Unit Citation (PUC);
Bronze Star Medal (BSM) and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry
Cross with Palm (RVNGC w/P) (Will be administratively corrected).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The awards were left off of his DD Form 214. He needs the BSM in
order to get an auto tag in Texas. He was also told when he left
Vietnam his unit received the PUC and RVNGC w/P.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his DD
Form 214, the BSM citation and the award.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Feb 67, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 12 May 75, the applicant received an honorable discharge. He
was credited with 4 years, 2 months and 14 days of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIP recommends disapproval for award of the PUC. DPSIP was
unable to verify the applicant served with a unit that was awarded
the PUC. DPSIP determined the Air Force Medals and/or Ribbons
below should have been awarded for the applicants service from 28
Feb 67 to 27 Feb 71 and were not reflected in his records. Upon
final Board decision, administrative correction of the applicants
official military personnel record will be completed by
AFPC/DPSOR:
Bronze Star Medal (BSM);
Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor and one Bronze Oak
Leaf Cluster (AFOUA w/V & 1BOLC);
Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm (RVNGC w/P).
The complete DPSIP 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 26 Sep 14 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 error or injustice to warrant award
of the PUC. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force Office of Primary Responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Aside
from the administrative corrections noted above, we find no basis
to grant the additional relief sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of a material error or injustice; that
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.
