ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-04120 INDEX CODE: 110.02 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His characterization of discharge be upgraded to honorable. _______________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 20 March 2008, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request to upgrade his characterization of discharge to honorable. A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit E (with Exhibits A-D). By letter, dated 2 March 2008, which is essentially a request for reconsideration, the applicant provides four character reference letters. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F. _______________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence of record and considered the weight and relevance of the additional documentation provided by the applicant. Although we find the applicant’s recent submission as new and relevant, we do not find the evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend granting the relief sought on the basis of clemency. As in the Board’s earlier determination, based on the available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and within the commander's discretionary authority. The applicant has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe the characterization of his service was contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses committed. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend granting the relief sought. _____________________________________________________________________________ _ 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 this application in Executive Session on 31 July 2009, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Panel Chair XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member The following documentary evidence for AFBCMR Docket Number BC- 2007-04120 was considered: Exhibit E.
