ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04022 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be allowed to serve in the enlisted force for one year to prove that he has the capacity to serve and complete his active duty service commitment (ADSC) for the cost of his advanced education at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board, on 2 Aug 11. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the application, and, the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F, with attachments. The applicant submits a request for reconsideration, contending now that he should be allowed to serve in the Air Force Reserve or the Regular Air Force for one year to prove that he has the capacity to serve in the enlisted force to reimburse the government for the cost of his advanced education at the USAFA. If not, then he should be given another option other than to monetarily pay for the cost of his education. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal statement; copies of letters of recommendation and commendation from former classmates and his employer; extracts from his official USAFA records, and other supporting documents. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant corrective action. We have reviewed the new information provided in support of his appeal; however, we do not find it sufficient to overturn the earlier decision of the Board. While we empathize with the applicant, we do not find that he has been the victim of an error or injustice. In view of the above, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. 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 issue(s) 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 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 AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-04022 in Executive Session on 2 October 2012, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit F.
