SECOND ADDENDUM TO 
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

AUG 2 6 1998 
DOCKET NUMBER:  96-00462, Cs#2 

COUNSEL : 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

RESUME OF CASE: 
In an application dated 6 February 1996, applicant requested that 
his character/disorder discharge be upgraded. 
On 14 November 1996, the Board considered and denied applicant's 
request.  A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings  (ROP) is 
attached at Exhibit R. 

Applicant  submitted additional documentation which was  examined 
by the Board.  On 14 March 1997, applicant was  advised that the 
Board concluded the documentation did not meet  the criteria for 
reconsideration  (Exhibit S) . 
Applicant  again  submitted  additional  information  which  was 
forwarded to  the  Board  for  review, after  obtaining  an  advisory 
opinion from the BCMR Medical Consultant.  The Board  considered 
and denied applicant's request on 10 March 1998.  A complete copy 
of the Addendum ROP is attached at Exhibit T. 

Applicant submitted additional information which was reviewed by 
the  AFBCMR  staff  and  determined  not  to  meet  the  criteria  for 
reconsideration.  On 5 June 1998, he was s o   advised  (Exhibit U). 
Applicant  submitted a letter to  the Executive Director, AFBCMR, 
again  requesting  that  the  previous  information be  reconsidered 
(Exhibit V) .  In addition, applicant submitted new documentation 
to the Secretary of the Air Force which is attached at Exhibit W. 
His case has been reopened at this time. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of probable error or injustice.  After  thoroughly 
reviewing  the  entire  case  file  again,  to  include  the 
documentation  attached  to  his  latest  letter and  his  submission 
through the office of the Secretary of the Air Force, we reaffirm 
our  earlier  decision  that  there  is  insufficient  documentation 
indicating  that  there  were  medical  conditions  which  required

processing  through  the  Air  Force  disability  system  during  the 
time period  applicant was  on active duty.  In short, applicant 
has  again  failed  to  sustain  his  burden  of  establishing  the 
existence of either an error or an injustice warranting favorable 
action on  these  requests.  Applicant  has  received a disability 
rating from the VA, and we believe that the VA is the appropriate 
agency  for  awarding compensation for his  conditions.  We  again 
note that the Air Force and the VA are separate federal agencies 
and  operate under  different  laws  and  policies.  The Air  Force 
assesses  a  service member's  disability with  respect  to  fitness 
for duty, while  the VA rates  for any and all  service connected 
conditions,  to  the  degree  they  interfere  with  future 
employability, without consideration of fitness.  In view of the 
foregoing  and  in  the  absence  of  persuasive  evidence  to  the 
contrary,  we  again  find  no  compelling  evidence  upon  which  to 
recommend the requested relief. 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  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 this application in 
Executive Session on 6 August 1998 and 21 August 1998, under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:
