STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate that he
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 13 Jul 71 and served on
active duty until his Honorable discharge on 18 Dec 72. He was
credited with one year, six months, and five days of active
service, with no foreign service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants master personnel records, are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility which is included at Exhibit C.

HQ AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. A review of the applicants Master
Personnel Records and the documentation he submitted failed to
identify any documents that substantiate foreign service in
Thailand.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant restates his original claim that he went TDY to
Thailand in Jul 72. He provides the names of three other
individuals whose names would have been listed on the TDY orders
along with his (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 an 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 of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. We note that in
response to the Air Force evaluation the applicant provides the
names of three other Air Force members who would have been on
his orders as well some details pertaining to the itinerary of
his purported trip to Southeast Asia to aid in the search for
evidence that he served in Thailand. However, the applicant is
reminded the Board is not an investigative body and in
accordance with the governing statute, the burden of proof of an
error or injustice rests with him. Therefore, in view of the
above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis for us to recommend granting relief.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
