ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1996-00193-1 INDEX CODE: 110.02 COUNSEL: NO HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His reentry (RE) code of 2B (separated with a general or under other than honorable conditions discharge) and general (under honorable conditions) discharge be changed to allow him reentry into the military. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 14 and 20 Nov 96, the Board considered the applicant’s request for reinstatement in the rank of E-4 (senior airman); back pay from 23 Feb 95 to date of reinstatement; all medical bills be paid; an assignment to Little Rock AFB; and if all of the above was not granted, he requested that his general discharge be changed to honorable and that his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he may enter the Air National Guard or Reserve. The Board found sufficient evidence to change his narrative reason for discharge to “Convenience of the Government” and to change his Separation Program Designator (SPD) code to “JFF.” The Board found insufficient evidence to warrant favorable consideration of the remainder of his requests. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G. In his current submission, he states the circumstances surrounding his discharge were not handled fairly. He believes the military needs him and he needs it. He has many certifications and owns a mortgage company. He leads many people and hosts a foreign exchange student. His RE code does not allow him reentry into the Air National Guard or Reserve. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his business license with attachment, certificates, and his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit H. Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to identify an arrest record on the basis of the information furnished. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action regarding the applicant’s requests for upgrade of his general discharge and change of his RE code. We have reviewed the applicant’s most recent submission and find the evidence provided insufficient to warrant a reversal of our previous determination concerning his requests. The applicant again has not provided any evidence that would lead us to believe his general discharge was improper or contrary to the prevailing regulation, or the RE code was inappropriately assigned. Therefore, in view of the above, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. _________________________________________________________________ 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered Docket Number BC-1996-00193-1 in Executive Session on 23 February 2010, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered for Docket Number BC-1996-00193-1: Exhibit G.
