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 and recommendation 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence
reflecting he served in Vietnam, we find no basis for us to recommend
granting relief.

The applicant be notified 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
