THIRD ADDENDUM
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1991-01020

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  YES 



RESUME OF CASE:

His bad conduct discharge (BCD) be upgraded to a general 
discharge.

 

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 6 August 1991 and 23 October 2003, the Board considered and 
denied the applicant’s requests to upgrade his BCD to an 
honorable discharge.  After a thorough review of the evidence of 
record and the applicant’s complete submissions, the Board was 
not convinced that it would be in the interest of justice to 
upgrade the applicant’s discharge on the basis of clemency.  For 
an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the 
applicant’s separation and the rationale of the earlier 
decisions by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings (ROP) at 
Exhibit H and the Addendum to Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit J.

On 2 April 2013, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration of his appeal to change his BCD to an honorable 
discharge.  After a thorough review of the evidence the applicant 
submitted in support of his request for reconsideration and 
determined that it was not sufficient to overcome the rationale 
expressed in the Board’s previous decisions.  Therefore, on 12 
Feb 14, the Board again denied the applicant’s request.  For a 
complete accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding 
the Board’s consideration of the applicant’s request for 
reconsideration, see the Second Addendum Record of Proceedings 
(ROP) at Exhibit L.

On 23 May 14, the applicant once again submitted request for 
reconsideration of his appeal to change his BCD to a general 
discharge.  In support of his instant request, the applicant 
provided evidence copy of his appeal to the Board of Veterans’ 
Appeals decision denying his request for an entitlement to VA 
home loan guaranty benefits from the Department of Veterans 
Affairs (DVA) on 25 Sep 13.  
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit M.


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.  While 
we find the additional documentation new, we are not convinced 
the documentation related to the denial of the applicant’s 
request for benefits by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) 
is relevant to our previous consideration of the applicant’s 
request for an upgrade to his discharge.  As the applicant has 
been previously advised, reconsideration is provided only where 
newly discovered relevant evidence if 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.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the additional evidence presented did 
not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
