ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-01268
		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 
22 Jul 04.  The Board determined that the evidence provided by the 
applicant was insufficient to warrant an upgrade of his discharge.  
There was no evidence showing the applicant’s discharge was 
carried out in contravention of the governing Air Force policy in 
effect at the time.  Additionally, the Board was not convinced 
that the applicant’s contributions to his community since his 
separation were sufficient to overcome the misconduct for which he 
was discharged; therefore, the Board did not conclude that it 
would be in the interest of justice to upgrade his discharge on 
the basis of clemency.  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 I.

By virtue of an DD Form 149, Application for Correction of 
Military Record, dated 3 Nov 10, the applicant requested 
reconsideration of his request for an upgrade of his discharge, 
indicating he served his country with honor and his performance 
reports reflect this.  The applicant also noted he was having 
problems due to the death of his brother (Exhibit J).  On 
18 Feb 11, because the applicant had provided no new and/or 
relevant evidence in support of his request for reconsideration, 
the Board staff informed the applicant that his request did not 
meet the criteria for reconsideration (Exhibit K). 

By virtue of a DD Form 149, dated 27 Jan 14, with attachments, the 
applicant requests reconsideration of his request for an upgrade 
of his discharge indicating his service was outstanding until the 
incident which led to his subsequent discharge.


The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit L. 


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing the evidence of record, the applicant’s 
prior submission, the additional evidence provided in support of 
his appeal, we are not persuaded that it would be appropriate to 
override the Board’s original decision.  After thoroughly 
reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of 
this appeal and the evidence of record, we remain unconvinced that 
the applicant’s contributions to the community since his discharge 
are sufficient to overcome the misconduct which formed the basis 
for his discharge.  Therefore, while we commend the applicant for 
his post-service transition, we are not convinced that it would be 
in the interest of justice to upgrade his discharge.  


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.
