On 24 Feb 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within

____________________________________________________________

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 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.

____________________________________________________________

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.
