In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his deployment order, Special Order (SO) TE-1010, dated 17 August 2010, and a history of his 2010 leave dates. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at exhibit A. _________________ ______________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of MSgt Sergeant (MSgt). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application extracted from the applicant’s military personnel records are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit B). Accordingly there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. _______________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial due to the applicant’s inability to provide sufficient evidence of material error or injustice. Members not eligible for special leave accrual (SLA) can request recovery of days lost through the correction of records process, but must clearly establish that an error or injustice by the Air Force caused the lost leave. The complete AFPC/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 20 May 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office. ________________________________________________________________ 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 this application BC-2011-00586 in Executive Session on 24 January 2012, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
