with AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, states in part a 
“member's application must clearly establish that an error or 
injustice by the Air Force caused the member's lost leave.”  
Additionally, AFI 36-3003, para 10.9.3, states, in part that 
hospitalizations, aero-evacuations, quarters, and convalescent 
leaves are not authorized means for leave restoration.  

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 11 May 2012, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  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.  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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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 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
