changed to reflect his rank as major rather than captain.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He should have been discharged as a major in the Air Force 
Reserve.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 256, and a copy of his DD Form 214, Report of Separation 
from Active Duty.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects he served in the United 
States Air Force Reserve-MC (USAFR-MC) in the grade of major*.  
Item 27 (Remarks) reflects Item 6a* Captain RESAF (USAFR) (P) 
Appointed 1 Dec 71, DOR: 11 Jun 74.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are

ARPC/DPTT recommends denial.  The applicant served in the USAFR 
as a permanent captain and served on active duty as a temporary 
major.  He did not have seven years time-in-grade or at least 
14 years time-in-service to meet an USAFR major’s promotion 
board, before he was discharged.  


The complete DPTT evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 6 Apr 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  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 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.
