his MPR, medical records, and training records, failed to
substantiate his claim of foreign service in Vietnam, as therewere no travel orders, evaluation reports, letters of evaluation,
decorations, or other official military documents reflecting thattravel was completed and the inclusive dates of travel.
The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
