entered the Regular Air Force.
On 18 Aug 69, the applicant was discharge, and transferred to
the Air Force Reserves. He was credited with four years of
total active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. They were able to verify the
applicant served four months in Germany and recommend he be
credited with boots on the ground in Germany but were unable to
verify any other foreign service.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 9 Mar 15 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 to warrant
awarding Foreign Service for Germany, Japan, and several other
foreign countries. We took notice of the applicants complete
submission in judging the merits of this case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force Office of
Primary Responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. Other than the administrative
corrections to reflect 4 months foreign service time in Germany,
we find no basis to grant the additional 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.
