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. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing
the evidence of record, 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 the
applicant has not provided sufficient evidence to substantiate
time served in Puerto Rico. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief sought in this application.
