The governing instruction states, in part, that the member’s application must clearly establish that an error or injustice by the Air Force caused the member’s lost leave. Additionally, AFI 36-3003, para 10.8.1, 10.8.5, states that normal Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, as well as attending school or course are not authorized for leave restoration. The applicant does not meet the eligibility criteria to restore his leave. The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 23 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response. ______________________________________________________________ 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. 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 and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-04458 in Executive Session on 7 Jun 12, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence for Docket Number BC-2011-04458 was considered: Exhibit A.
