there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR reviewed this application and recommends denial. DPSIDR, after
reviewing his request and military personnel records, found no evidence to
verify his entitlement to the SAEMR. A complete copy of the evaluation is
at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and furnished a response which is
attached at 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 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.
