separation reflects 1 years, 1 month and 27 days of foreign

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states a thorough review of
the applicants Master Personnel Records (MPR) failed to
substantiate his claim of Foreign Service in Korea. The

Camp Sill, Osan, Korea; however, no source documents were
provided, i.e., travel vouchers, evaluation reports, letters of
evaluation, decorations or other official military documents,
that reflect travel was completed and the inclusive periods of

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 8 Aug 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 applicants 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. However, if the
applicant provides a copy of the source document(s) mentioned by
AFPC/DPAPP, we will reconsider his request. 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
