STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s master personnel record (MPR) appears to have been lost or
destroyed.
Based on the available documentation the following facts are provided.

On 6 September 1991, while serving in the grade of staff sergeant, he
was released from active duty under the provisions of AFR 39-10
(Completed Extended Enlistment) and transferred to the Air Force
Reserve.
In a letter dated 9 August 2002, AFPC/DPAPP2 asked the applicant to
make a thorough check of his personal files to see if he had any
documents pertaining to Operation Desert Storm Shield. He provided
none.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 August 2002, a complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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 Staff
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 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.
