and documentation from his master personnel record.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTT recommends denial. The applicant was enlisted into
the USAF Reserve (USAFR) ROTC program as an airman basic on
22 August 1974. He graduated on 12 May 1977. He was appointed
as a second lieutenant effective 13 May 1977 by Reserve Order
PC-1566. The order relieved him from USAFR enlisted status as
an airman basic effective the day preceding acceptance of
commission.
There are no documents in his master personnel file indicating
that he was promoted to airman or airman first class.
The complete DPTT 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 20 April 2013, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received
no response.
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the available evidence of record and 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. There was no evidence that the
applicant was promoted to airman or airman first class.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to grant the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
