 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 opinion and recommendation of  the
 Air  Force  office  of  primary  responsibility  and  adopt   their
 rationale as the basis for  our  conclusion  that  the  applicant’s

 The applicant be notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not

 of newly discovered relevant  evidence  not  considered  with  this
