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

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1984-02657-2
            INDEX CODE:  110.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In  the  applicant’s  request   for   reconsideration,   he   requests   his
dishonorable  discharge  be  upgraded  to  honorable  or   under   honorable
conditions.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 2 May 1949, the applicant was dishonorably discharged  in  the  grade  of
private, having served approximately 3  years,  5  months  and  24  days  on
active duty.  His discharge had its basis in his trial and conviction  by  a
general court-martial for the offense of being absent without  leave  (AWOL)
on two occasions for a total period of 74 days.

A similar request by the applicant was considered and denied  by  the  Board
on 18 October 1984.  For  an  accounting  of  the  facts  and  circumstances
surrounding the applicant’s separation, and, the rationale  of  the  earlier
decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

In his request for reconsideration,  the  applicant  contends  that  he  has
submitted new evidence in the form of bank statements,  a  letter  from  his
pastor, and statements from friends and neighbors (Exhibit G).

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of  Investigation  (FBI)
provided a copy of an  investigative  report  pertaining  to  the  applicant
(Identification Record No. 510747DC2).  On 5 May 2005, a  copy  of  the  FBI
report was forwarded to the applicant for his review and  comments  (Exhibit
H).
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE FBI INVESTIGATIVE REPORT:

In response  to  the  FBI  report,  the  applicant  submitted  his  personal
statement, a copy of a detention certificate,  copies  of  support  letters,
and other documents pertaining to his arrest (Exhibit I).
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

We  have  considered  the  additional  evidence  provided  relating  to  the
applicant’s  post-service  activities  and  accomplishments.   While   these
documents are laudable,  they  do  not  alleviate  the  seriousness  of  his
misconduct during the time he was in the military service.  In addition,  in
view of the applicant’s apparent involvement with civilian  law  enforcement
since his separation, we are not inclined to favorably consider his  request
based on clemency.  Therefore, the applicant’s request is denied.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
