total active service. His DD Form 214 reflects award of the Air Force
Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal. He served 1 year,

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states in part, the applicant’s
military personnel records do not contain any documents that confirm
any TDYs or flights into Vietnam during his tour of duty in Okinawa,
Japan. His Airman Personnel Report
rendered while at Kadena has no reference to any trips into Vietnam.
The AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2
February 2007, for review and comment 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. After a thorough review of the
available evidence, the Board is not persuaded the applicant’s records
should be corrected to show he served in Vietnam. The Board agrees
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopts its rationale as the basis for their
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the
Board finds 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.
