_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
On 8 Sep 83, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal submitted by the applicant.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and the rationale of the earlier decision of the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G. 
 
In a DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal from the Armed Forces of the United States, the applicant states he realizes his mistakes of the past and he has led an honest and productive life for the past 30 years.  He desires the upgrade so that his veteran benefits can be restored and he can use one of the benefits to help pay for his college education.   
 
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a resume and website addresses of his companies.   
 
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit H. 
 
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) provided an investigative report which is at Exhibit I.  A copy of the report and a request for post service information was forwarded to the applicant on 2 Dec 09 (Exhibit J). 
 
In response to the Board’s request, the applicant provides personal statements, character letters, resume, and a State of New York Certificate of Relief from Disabilities. 
 
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit K.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
 
After reviewing the previous evidence of record and noting the additional documentation submitted, we are not persuaded the applicant’s request should be granted.  While the applicant has provided evidence of an apparent successful post-service adjustment, we do not believe clemency is warranted at this time given the seriousness of his offense, i.e., the sale of illegal substances.  We do not believe a sufficient period of time has elapsed since the applicant's discharge.  Therefore, we find no basis to recommend the requested relief be granted. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 
 
The applicant be notified that the additional evidence presented did not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
