APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The applicant did not provide any contentions.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 13 Jun 68, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force.  On 12 Jun 72, he was furnished an honorable 
discharge, and was credited with four years of active service.   

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 an 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.  There was no 
evidence found in the applicant’s official military records 
showing he served with a unit that received 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 27 Oct 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 an error or injustice.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
