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 an 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 AFPC/DPSIM and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. While the Board notes the memorandum from the applicant’s Section Commander requesting the FA in question be removed from his record, the Board finds the Commander’s memorandum alone to be insufficient due to the lack of any supporting medical documentation showing the applicant’s medical condition was the cause of the FA failure. 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 the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 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-2012-03220 in Executive Session on 12 Mar 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the records as recommended.
