APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be updated to reflect his foreign service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Discharge or Release from Active
Duty, does not reflect his foreign service in the Persian Gulf.
In Aug 90, he was sent TDY from the 2nd Mobile Aerial Port
Squadron, Little Rock AFB, AR; however, he does not have copies
of his TDY orders. He contacted the National Personnel Records
Center requesting his personnel file, but was unsuccessful.

Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states the applicants
personnel records did not reveal any information that reflects he
served in Operation DESERT SHIELD/STORM. DPAPP sent the
applicant a letter requesting him to provide any documents that
substantiate his foreign service time; however, he has not
responded.
The DPAPP complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on
28 Jan 11 for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (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. After careful
consideration of the applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or
injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions
stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence
of record and have not been adequately rebutted by applicant.
Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to
which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to
disturb the existing record.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
