AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1POE recommends denial. A1POE states the applicant’s 
complaint does not substantiate an error. The applicant was in a 
training status from 28 June 1968 to 8 April 1969, which is 
annotated on the applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 24 April 1970. 
This office was not able to find any documentation in the 
applicant’s master personnel record, nor in the documentation 
provided to validate his claim that he operated a theater at 
Sheppard AFB in direct support of the war effort. 


 

The A1POE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

NGB/A1PS concurs with the NGB/A1POE advisory and recommends 
denial of the applicant’s request. 

 

The A1PS complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 23 March 2012, copies of the Air Force evaluations were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). 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 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 an error or an injustice. The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing 
the evidence of record, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility 
and adopt their 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
