            INDEX CODE:  128.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be reimbursed for premiums deducted from his pay  for  Servicemen’s
Group Life Insurance (SGLI) for the months of  November  2001  through
February 2002.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the  records  to  be  in  error  or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support  of  the  appeal  are  at
Exhibit A.

Supporting documents were not  submitted.   The  applicant’s  complete
submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from  the
applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared  by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPS recommends the application be  denied.   DPS  stated  that
there is no  written  evidence  the  applicant  completed  the  Family
Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) election  statement.   If
the decision is to grant the relief sought, or if  the  applicant  can
provide a copy of his original election in  Dec  01,  the  applicant’s
record should be  corrected  to  show  that  he  elected  to  withdraw
coverage under FSGLI, effective 9 Dec 01.

The HQ ARPC/DPS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  applicant  on  10
May 2002 for review and response.  As of this date,  no  response  has
been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________

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 evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice.  After thoroughly  reviewing  the
evidence of record and noting the applicant’s complete submission,  we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force  office  of
primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the  basis
for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain  his  burden
that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.  Other than  his
own assertions, the applicant has provided no evidence to substantiate
he completed an FSGLI election statement prior to  the  one  on  file,
dated Feb 02.  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 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.
