service characterized as UOTHC.  He served a total of 1 year and 17 days of
active duty.

Pursuant to the Board’s  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation,
Washington, DC., provided an investigation report
Pertaining to the applicant.  A copy of the  report  was  provided  to  the
applicant for review and response within 30  days.   As  of  this  date  no
response has been received. (Exhibit C).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  DPPRS states the  discharge  was  consistent
with  the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements  of   the   discharge
regulation.  In addition, the discharge was within the sound discretion  of
the discharge authority.  He did not submit any new  evidence  or  identify
any errors or injustices that occurred in his discharge processing.

The complete DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9  Mar
07 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office has
received no response (Exhibit E).

________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.   After  careful  consideration  of  the
available evidence, the Board found  no  indication  the  actions  taken  to
affect his discharge and characterization  of  his  service  were  improper,
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulations  in  effect  at  the
time, or based on factors other than his  own  misconduct.   Therefore,  the
Board agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office  of
primary responsibility and adopt  its  rationale  as  the  basis  for  their
conclusion that the applicant has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.

________________________________________________________________

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.
