APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR  FORCE  EVALUATION: 
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was  forwarded to applicant on 
27  April  1998  f o r   review  and  response.  As  of  this  date,  no 
response has been received by this office  (Exhibit D) . 

THE  BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

2.  The application was timely filed. 

3 .   Insufficient  relevant  evider-ce  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the existence of  probable  error or injustice.  After 
a  t h o r o u g h   review  of  the  evidence  of  record  and  applicant s 
submission,  we  are  unpersuaded  that  he  should  be  reimbursed 
additional expenses for moving  his  sailboat.  His contentions are 
duly noted; however, we  do not  f i n d   these assertions, in and  by 
themselves,  sufficiently  pers-aasive to  override  the  rationale 
provided  by  the Air  Force.  We  therefore  agree with  the  opiniox 
and  recommendation  of  the  A i -  Force  and  adopt  the  ra5ionale 
expressed  as  the  basis  for  OUL-  dezision  that  t h e   applicant  has 
failed to sustain his burden t h a t   F-2  has suffered either an error 
or  an  injustice. 
Therefore,  we  find  no  compelling  basis  to 
recommend granting the relief  souqlnr  in this application. 

THE  BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 
T h e   applicant  be  notified  that  tile  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  material  error  or 
injustice;  that  the  applicaticn  was  denied  without  a  personal 
appearance;  and  that  the  applicatim  will  only  be  reconsidered 
upon  the  submission  of  newly  discovered  relevant  evidence  not 
considered with this applicatiori.
