AFPC/DPAPP notified the applicant on 15 Nov 11 that they were

Air Base, Taiwan from 25 Jan 70 to 25 Apr 71 for 1 year,
3 months, and 1 day; Ching Chuan Kang Air Base, Taiwan from 8 Jan

9 months and 19 days of foreign service. The applicants foreign
service time is accurately reflected on his DD Form 214 with an
effective date of 16 Feb 72; therefore, there is no need for a
change to his foreign service.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 28 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. 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 that 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
with this application.
