 APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:


 Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluations  and  provided  a  three-page
 response, which is attached at Exhibit F.


 _______________________________________________________________


 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  probable  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the
 applicant's complete  submission  in  judging  the  merits  of  the  case;
 however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the  Air  Force
 offices of primary responsibility and adopt their 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 compelling 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  probable  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.
