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


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1983-03927-2

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the  applicant’s  request  for  reconsideration,  he  requests  the
narrative reason for separation indicated in Block 28 of his  DD  Form
214, “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty” be changed
from “Unsatisfactory Performance” to “Convenience of the Government.”

_________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 23 Feb 84, the Board considered  and  denied  a  request  from  the
applicant to change the narrative reason for separation  indicated  in
Block 28 of his DD Form 214, “Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty” to “Satisfactory Performance” (Exhibit F).  In a  new  DD
Form 149, dated     25 Apr 06, the applicant makes the request  stated
above.  In his application the applicant provides nine letters, two he
states are new evidence, one written by a former co-worker, allegedly,
with  firsthand  knowledge  of  the  circumstances  that  led  to  the
applicant’s discharge and a character reference provided by an officer
(Exhibit G).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Sufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of error or injustice.  While the Board  does  not  consider
the character reference written on the applicant by the officer to  be
relevant to the central issues in this case, we did note with interest
the  statement  prepared  by  the  applicant’s  former  co-worker  and
consider it  new  and  relevant.   The  Board  finds  the  information
contained in the co-worker’s statement compelling  regarding  possible
unfair treatment of the applicant, which led to his eventual discharge
for unsatisfactory performance.  The co-worker stresses  that  he  was
present during the time of the applicant’s problems  and  has  written
his statement based on firsthand knowledge.  We also note that the co-
worker also provided a statement in support of  the  applicant  during
the time of the discharge action taken against the applicant, although
at that time he was an airman first class still on active duty and his
current statement is written as a retired Air Force NCO.  We note  the
change in the co-worker’s status because in our view the fact that  he
is a retired Air Force NCO gives  some  credence  to  the  information
provided in his statement.  At any rate, enough doubt has been created
regarding the applicant’s treatment and discharge that  we  believe  a
measure of relief is warranted.  We believe it appropriate to give the
applicant  the  benefit  of  the  doubt  regarding  his  service,  and
recommend  the  narrative  reason  for   discharge   be   changed   to
“Secretarial Authority” and his separation code be changed  to  “KFF.”
We are not persuaded that a change  in  his  reenlistment  eligibility
(RE) code is warranted, nor has the applicant  requested  its  change.
Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be  corrected  as  set
forth below.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to  show  that  his  DD  Form  214,
“Certificate of Release or Discharge  from  Active  Duty,”  Block  26,
“Separation Code,” be changed  to  “KFF,”  and  Block  28,  “Narrative
Reason for Separation” be changed to “Secretarial Authority.”

    On 18 Aug 95, his training squadron commander notified him he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for fraudulent entry.
