RESUME OF CASE:

On 24 Jan 12, the Board for Corrections of Military Records 
(BCMR) considered and denied the applicant’s request to be 
medically retired.  For an accounting of the facts and 
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s discharge; and, the 
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record 
of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit I (with Exhibits A and H).  

By letter, dated 6 Feb 12, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  The applicant states the Air Force Reserves 
failed to refer him to the Disability Evaluation System (DES) 
and failed to inform him of his rights.  The fact that the law 
was not followed, he did not know of his rights before being 
forced out of the Reserves.

In support of the appeal, the applicant provides personal 
statements, a copy of a Medical Examination for Voluntary 
Separation or Retirement letter, and paperwork from the 
Department of Veterans Affairs.

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

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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.  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 additional 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.
