A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 8 Apr 11
for review and comment within 30 days. 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
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 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.
