Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 19
Jul 02 for 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 evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of
applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find
insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective
action. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear
to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by
applicant. Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to
which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb
the existing record. Notwithstanding this, if the applicant submits
additional documentation in support of his request for the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal, we would be inclined to reconsider his
appeal.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
