                             SECOND ADDENDUM TO
                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1986-03661

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2B” be  changed  to  “1A”  permit
Reserve duty.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 6 November 2001, the AFBCMR reconsidered applicant’s request that his  RE
Code be changed.  The Board found  insufficient  evidence  of  an  error  or
injustice and denied the application.  For an accounting of  the  facts  and
circumstances surrounding the application, and the rationale of the  earlier
decision by the Board, see the Addendum to Record of Proceedings at  Exhibit
I.

In a letter, dated 8 March 2004, the applicant requests  reconsideration  of
his application and  provides  additional  documentation.   The  applicant’s
complete submission is at Exhibit J.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  After a thorough  review  of  the
evidence of  record  and  the  additional  documentation  submitted  by  the
applicant, we are not persuaded that relief  should  be  granted.   In  this
respect, we note that on 11 February 1986, the Air  Force  Discharge  Review
Board  (AFDRB)  upgraded  applicant’s  discharge  to  honorable.   Once  his
discharge was  upgraded  to  honorable  his  RE  code  of  “2B,”  issued  to
individuals separated  with  a  general  or  other-than-honorable-conditions
(UOTHC) discharge, should have been changed to “2C.”  The RE  code  of  “2C”
is issued to individuals who are involuntarily separated with  an  honorable
discharge.  It appears this did not occur.  The appropriate  office  of  the
Air Force has been contacted and will administratively  correct  applicant’s
records to show he was issued an  RE  code  of  “2C”  at  the  time  of  his
discharge.   Since  the  RE  code  of   “2C”   accurately   identifies   the
circumstances  surrounding  applicant’s  discharge;  i.e.,  his  involuntary
separation with an honorable discharge, we  do  not  believe  it  should  be
changed.  We also find insufficient evidence  to  warrant  a  recommendation
that the RE code be upgraded on the basis of clemency.  We  have  considered
applicant's overall quality of service, the events  which  precipitated  the
discharge, the letter of character reference submitted in  his  behalf,  and
do not believe that clemency is warranted.  Therefore,  in  the  absence  of
evidence to the  contrary,  we  find  no  compelling  basis  upon  which  to
recommend favorable consideration of his request.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the additional  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.
