						COUNSEL:  NONE

He receive credit for his support of Operation ENDURING 
FREEDOM/Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OEF/OIF).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

While assigned to Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath, United 
Kingdom, he was deployed to RAF Feltwell, in 2004 – 2005, in 
support of the Iraqi War.  During his deployment to RAF 
Mildenhall, his radar unit provided direct support to bombers 
going into Iraq and other destinations.  He also guarded bombers 
as a security forces augmentee.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 26 Mar 02, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air 
Force.

On 25 Mar 06, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge, and was credited with four years of active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2WR did not provide a recommendation.  DP2WR notes a data 
analysis was done in the Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning 
and Execution Segments (DCAPES) system, the deployed system of 
record, and no deployments for this specified period of time 
were found.  DP2WR attached an email from the DCAPES data 
analysis section, dated 13 Jan 2016, showing this finding.  Also 
a review of the Military Personnel Data System (MILPDS), the 
system of record for military data, was accomplished and no 
deployments for this specified period of time was found.  A 
snapshot of any recorded Temporary Duties (TDYs) the applicant 
accomplished was attached as well.  Also attached is a Single 
Unit Retrieval Format (SURF) from MILPDS of the applicant's 
military data and it reflects no deployment history.  TDYs of at 
least 45 days in duration will be reflected on a member's surf.  
Information reflected will be TDY inclusive dates and whether 
the TDY was CONUS or OCONUS.  If applicable data were to be 
shown it would show in the Deployment History Data section of 
the MILPDS SURF.  At this time DP2WR is returning this case with 
no action taken due to no record supporting the applicant's 
request being found.  

A complete copy of the DP2WR 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 1 Feb 2016 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of an error or injustice.  After a careful review 
of the applicant's contentions, documentation submitted in 
support of the request, and the available evidence of record, we 
are not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence 
for us to conclude that he is the victim of an error or 
injustice.  We also note the applicant did not file the 
application within three years after the alleged error or 
injustice was discovered, or should have been discovered, as 
required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air 
Force Instruction 36-2603.  Therefore, because we do not find it 
would be in the interest of justice to recommend granting 
relief, and the applicant has offered no plausible reason for 
the delay in filing the application, we cannot conclude it would 
be in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely 
file the application.  Accordingly, we find the application 
untimely.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the 
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the 
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as 
untimely.
