APPLICANT REQUESTS:  Reconsideration of his request for upgrading of his separation to honorable, which was denied by this Board on 19 July 1995.

APPLICANT STATES:  That he was punished, but not one attempt to treat him for his problems.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  Incorporated herein by reference are military records which are summarized in a memorandum presented before this Board on 19 July 1995 (COPY ATTACHED).

The applicant provides an unsigned listing of his social, family, school, military, employment, marital, and mental history which was completed by a social worker on his behalf.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.

2.  At the time of the applicant’s separation, a Report of Psychiatric Examination and a physical examination, respectively, cleared the applicant for separation.  There were no medically unfitting conditions noted.

3.  The type of discharge directed and the reasons therefore were appropriate considering all the facts of the case.

4.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicants request.

DETERMINATION:  The original decision by this Board is reaffirmed.

BOARD VOTE:

                       GRANT          

                       GRANT FORMAL HEARING

                       DENY APPLICATION
