AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1986-04163
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His under honorable conditions (general) discharge be upgraded to 
honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
23 Apr 87.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding his request, and the rationale for the earlier 
decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings, with 
attachments, at Exhibit H.

On 4 Apr 88, the applicant's request was reconsidered and denied 
by the Board.  The facts and circumstances surrounding his 
request, and the rationale for the Board's decision are contained 
in the Addendum to the Record of Proceedings with attachments 
(Exhibit I).

On 28 Jul 08, the applicant again requested his discharge be 
upgraded.  On 13 Aug 09, the Board staff informed the applicant 
his request did not meet the criteria for reconsideration 
(Exhibit K).

On 4 May 09, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration of his request to have his general discharge 
upgraded to honorable.  He states the incident which was the 
basis for his discharge was due to the trauma of being sexually 
assaulted while on active duty.  On 7 Jul 09, the Board staff 
informed the applicant that his request did not meet the criteria 
for reconsideration (Exhibit J).

On 4 Sep 09, in his most recent submission, the applicant 
provided a rating decision from the Department of Veterans 
Affairs (DVA) dated 17 Nov 06 and a Board certified Psychiatrist 


evaluation diagnosing him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 
(PTSD).  His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit 
L.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In earlier findings, the Board has determined there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action.  After 
reviewing the complete evidence of record and the documentation 
submitted as new evidence, we again find no basis to grant the 
requested relief.  We note the documentation provided gives 
support to the applicant's assertion of being sexually assaulted 
in August 1980; and that this attack is the cause of his PTSD 
which led to his disciplinary infractions which ultimately led to 
his general discharge.  However, the documentation provided is 
the author's interpretation of the incident as told by the 
applicant and his record is absent of such incident.  The reasons 
for his discharge are well documented in his record.  Therefore, 
in the absence of evidence to indicate the information contained 
in his records is erroneous, his substantial rights were 
violated, or his commander abused his discretionary authority, we 
conclude that no basis exists upon which to recommend favorable 
consideration of the applicant's request.
