APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 
12 Nov 10 for review and response. As of this date, no response 
has been received by this office (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. After careful 
consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence 
of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to 
warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions stated in the 
advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and 
have not been adequately rebutted by the applicant. Absent 
persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or 
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to 
disturb the existing record. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
