AFPC/DP2STM recommends granting the applicant’s request, indicating there is evidence of an error or injustice. 

Applicant was originally selected for non-retention in accordance with PSDM 14-38, FY15 Officer Reduction In Force (RIF) Board, dated 2 May 14 (amended 19 Aug 14), and was separated 30 Apr 15.

After it was determined that there were missing documents in his record, applicant requested, and was authorized to meet an SSB.  Accordingly, the applicant was selected for retention by the CY14B Major (LAF) RIF SSB which convened on 14 Sep 15.  It is in the interest of justice that the applicant be reinstated back into the Air Force.
