All,
Not sure if you all have a copy of this, but just in case here is a copy. The Philippine Presidential Unit Citation is awarded to all members of 1st SFGA, and JTF-510 for the time period of January to July 2002.

Thanks for the heads up. Since I am retired I never would have known.

I found a copy laying around our BTM just before I went to my DD 214 appointment last week. They put it in for me. BTW- the guy who did my DD 214 said that 1st Groupers were the only dudes on post with two page 214's...with the possible exception of some 2/75 guys.

Anyone know if we have been granted approval to wear this?

<--purchased outside Red Dog Saloon, NEP, KoT, your guess is as good as mine what it is

About a year ago, was talking with my roommate from OEF-P, now working at SOCPAC, and he asked me the same question (He is a Marine). Tried tracking it down, but have not seen any paperwork authorizing wear.

Any additional info is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You can wear the RP PUC only if it is permenant award. So yes, as long as you were assigned to a unit which received it during the period indicated. It is not authorized for wear if you were not assigned to that unit for the period indicated.

chilly68,

Thanks for the clarification. Do you happen to have any orders / notices to that effect? I know a couple of other 1st Groupers that were assigned there during the same time period, but have since dispersed to the four winds (not so much worried about the Os as much as the NCOs - promotion points.) Same thing happened with the MUC for the same time frame (awarded, but no notification of the award).

Thanks in advance.

V/R,
