AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR notes the applicant’s 
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 applicant’s 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 
applicant’s 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.
