Service Medal (NDSM). In addition, his Foreign Service time will

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial. DPSID states there is no
documentation to support the applicants claim that he was
deployed to Somalia in direct support of Operation RESTORE HOPE;
therefore, no service or campaign awards are authorized.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 18 Oct 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. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
However, if the applicant provides documentation that he was
assigned duties in Somalia in direct support of Operation RESTORE
HOPE, we would be willing to reconsider his request.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
