I was just looking over the Marine Corps Unit Awards Manual (NAVMC 2922) and saw that BLT 1/9 was awarded a Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) for the period of June 15, 1987 - December 18, 1987.

I served with Weapons Company, BLT 1/9 during this time period, we deployed on WestPac-87 with the 13th MAU (SOC).

I got out of the Marines before this award was authorized, so my question is how can I get this ribbon and my DD-214 to reflect such ?

Thanks.

Make a copy of your DD214. Find a blank copy of DD Form 149 on the internet. Fill out the DD149 in PAINFUL detail. DO NOT send to Washington,DC as the instructions say. Send it to National Personnel Records Center, PERS-312D2, 9700 Page Aveenue, St Louis, MO 63132.

When filling out the DD149, quote/site as many Names, Places, Actions as possible. Assuming they agree with you, Naval Records folks will send you a DD215 (addendum to DD214) and will probably send you the Medal/Ribbon. In my case I know they did.

Good luck and don't take NO for an answer.
