_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant’s military records were destroyed in the 1973  fire  at  the
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC).

The reconstructed military records reflect  the  applicant  served  on
active duty in the Army of the United States from 25 June 1946 through
30 May 1947.  He served in the Air Force Reserve from 20 August 1952 -
19 August 1955.

On 8 October 2004, SAF/MRBR requested the applicant provide additional
documentation regarding his Air Force service.  To date,  no  response
has been received.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Note:  No Air staff advisory was provided on this case.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   Applicant’s  complete  military
records are not available for review.  The documentation  provided  by
the applicant fails to substantiate that he has been the victim of  an
error or injustice.  Based upon the presumption of regularity  in  the
conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the  contrary,
we must assume the applicant received all the medals  and  decorations
to which he was entitled.  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.
