AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states a thorough review of 
the applicant’s Master Personnel Records (MPR) failed to 
substantiate his claim of Foreign Service in Korea. The 
applicant provided a copy of a travel order directing his TDY to 
Camp Sill, Osan, Korea; however, no source documents were 
provided, i.e., travel vouchers, evaluation reports, letters of 
evaluation, decorations or other official military documents, 
that reflect travel was completed and the inclusive periods of 
the travel. 

 


The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 8 Aug 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D).

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 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. However, if the 
applicant provides a copy of the source document(s) mentioned by 
AFPC/DPAPP, we will reconsider his request. 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.
