THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial, stating, in part, that after a
thorough review of the applicants military record, they did not
find any documentation of any time served in Southwest Asia. By
letter, they provided the criteria for the awards explaining
that airmen must be deployed to the Persian Gulf to be
authorized certain awards/decorations for participation in the
Persian Gulf. In addition, they requested the applicant provide
additional documentation in support of his appeal; however, he
did not respond.
The complete AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial based on a review of the
applicants record and DPAPPs evaluation. After a complete
review of the applicants record, they were unable to locate any
official documentation that verifies the applicant served in
direct support of Operation DESERT SHIELD/STORM.
The complete AFPC/DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit D.

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 Force offices of primary responsibility 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 basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
