STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Reserves in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5), having assumed 
that grade effective and with a date of rank (DOR) of 1 Nov 08.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPTSCS recommends denial. DPTSCS states there was no 
source documentation available to support the applicant’s claim.

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 Apr 11, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, this office has not received a response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After a 
thorough review of the available evidence and the applicant’s 
complete submission, we find no evidence which would lead us to 
believe his DD Form 214 should be corrected to reflect his 
service in Kirkuk, Iraq. Therefore, we agree with the opinion 
and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an 
error or injustice. Should the applicant provide sufficient 
evidence in the form of travel vouchers, evaluation reports, 
letters of evaluations, or other military documentation to 
substantiate his service in Iraq, we would be willing to 
reconsider his request. In view of the above and absent 
persuasive 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 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.
