RESUME OF CASE: 
 
On 26 Jan 11, the Board for Corrections of Military Records (BCMR) considered and denied the applicant’s request to change his RE code.  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 (ROP) at Exhibit G (with Exhibits A and F).   
 
By letter, dated 7 Mar 12, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration.  He received the final decision of his original request to have his RE code changed in February.  In Nov 11, he was given a metacholine asthma test and the results came back negative.  The test results is the best supporting evidence he has in support of his case.  The evidence submitted in support of the appeal is at Exhibit H. 
 
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a personal statement, a copy of his methacholine test results, and a letter from the Maryland Asthma & Allergy Center. 
 
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit J. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
 
1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 
 
2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 
 
3.  In an earlier finding, the Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action.  After thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in our previous decision.  Additionally, the Board notes that the medical test the applicant submitted was not an “exertion” test; therefore, it is not accurate to disprove the asthma the applicant has experienced during military training and does not negate the applicant’s long history of asthma attacks, and treatment including hospitatization and intubation for asthma.  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.
