STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. DPSIPE states that the applicant
enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 16 Jul 2008 for a one-year
period. During the one-year enlistment, he served a total of
5 months and 24 days of active duty before separating on 8 Jan
2009. On 18 Oct 2011, he enlisted into the Regular Air Force
through the Air Force Recruiting Service for a period of 4 years
as a non-prior service (NPS) applicant. He did not meet the
requirements to enter active duty under the prior service
program because he did not have at least 24 months of total
active federal military service. In accordance with AFI 36-
2002, Regular Air Force and Special Category Accessions, the
enlistment grade for NPS enlistees is E-1 and the date of rank
is the date they enlisted into the Regular Air Force. If the
enlistee has over 90 days active duty service and last served in
pay grade E-2 or higher, or is a Service Academy ex-cadet with
over 90 days service, then the grade is E-2. Although the
applicant did serve at least 90 days on active duty service, he
was not promoted to E-2 during his initial enlistment, nor did
he meet the requirements to be considered a Service Academy ex-
cadet.
The complete DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 23 Oct 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (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 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 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 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
with this application.
