AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPT recommends denial. After reviewing the applicant’s 
records, DPT found no records to show that he was placed on 


extended active duty orders that would establish he was on active 
duty until 12 Mar 59. However, they did find Reserve Order 
Number 6 that reflects effective 3 Mar 59 he was released from 
active duty training. Additionally, his record contained 
DD Forms 220, Active Duty Report, for the period covered by the 
aforementioned NA Form 13038. 

 

The complete DPT evaluation is at Exhibit C.

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 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 Reserve 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 the applicant performed any 
active duty service, other than for training, 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.
