ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00940 COUNSEL: HEARING DESIRED: YES _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His narrative reason for separation (Attrition, Unsuitability – Character and Behavior Disorders) be removed. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 22 October 2009. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s appeal and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F. In December 2009, the applicant requested reconsideration; however, the Board staff determined his request did not meet the criteria for reconsideration. The applicant submitted a DD Form 149, dated 1 February 2010, with attachments, again requesting reconsideration of his case. He indicates his character disorder and behavior disorder are medical assessments and violate his privacy by being placed on an official document. He provides a letter from his clinical psychologist. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G. _________________________________________________________________ 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, and whether or not it was discoverable at the time of any previous application. However, since no new and relevant evidence has been provided, we find the request does not meet the criteria for reconsideration. As the applicant has been previously advised, reconsideration is provided only where newly discovered relevant evidence is presented which was not available when the application was submitted. Further, the reiteration of facts we have previously addressed, uncorroborated personal observations, or additional arguments on the evidence of record are not adequate grounds for reopening a case. Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of new and relevant evidence, we find no basis to reconsider the applicant’s request. 4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2009-00940 in Executive Session on 7 December 2010, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2009-00940 was considered: Exhibit F.
