His current Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores be changed back to his original scores.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement and additional documents associated with the issues cited in his contentions.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6).

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ANG/DPFP recommends the application be denied.  DPFP stated that the only test scores recorded are those dated Feb 87.  They provided a Dec 99 message explaining that, due to the increased technical nature of many Air Force specialties, the skills required have changed.  Therefore, every member’s mechanical and administrative scores have been recalculated.  DPFP stated that if the member requires a higher score to maintain his current position, he must retest.  The ANG/DPFP evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 14 June 2002 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.	The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.	The application was timely filed.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  His contentions are duly noted; however, we do not find these uncorroborated assertions, in and by themselves sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force office of primary responsibility.  We therefore agree with the recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and conclude that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or injustice.  In the absence of sufficient evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
