ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-04124
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His bad conduct discharge (BCD) be upgraded to an honorable
discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 19 January 2011, the Board considered and denied the
applicants appeal. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the applicants appeal and the
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of
Proceedings, with attachments, at Exhibit H.
In a letter to the Board dated 15 June 2012, the applicant, via
his representative, requests reconsideration and provides
additional evidence. He is not denying his lack of judgment and
is truly sorry for what happened and is taking appropriate steps
to make his life better. The bad conduct discharge is too severe
a punishment because at that time he did not have the medical
evidence showing he has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). If the
medical evidence would have been available the judge would have
been able to deliver a more equitable punishment. He further
states that he seeks gainful employment in order to be a
functioning member of society and is working towards a degree in
Information Technology. He understands that he used poor
judgment while in the Air Force. Medical tests provided show
that his poor judgment was based largely on his ADD. He is not
using this as an excuse, rather trying to understand the root of
the problem and with guidance make better decisions.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in
support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not
believe the applicant has provided sufficient evidence to warrant
an upgrade to the characterization of his service on the basis of
clemency. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to recommend
favorable consideration of the applicants request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

By letter dated, 9 Dec 76, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) notified the applicant that his discharge was upgraded to general (under honorable conditions). However, in view of the AFDRB’s earlier decision, and the contents of the FBI Report, we are unpersuaded that an upgrade of the characterization of his discharge to fully honorable, his RE code of 2, or his reason for separation is warranted. Letter, AFBCMR, dated 5 Dec 06.

For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit H. On 8 September 2006, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration (Exhibit I), as the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit had provided a decision in the aforementioned case (Exhibit J).

Pursuant to a pretrial agreement, the applicant pled guilty to the charge and specification and was sentenced in accordance with his plea by a military judge to a BCD, confinement for four months, and reduction to the grade of airman basic (E-1). A review of the Record of Trial does not support the applicants allegation of error or injustice. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.

The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANTS REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The reason he did not file an appeal through the ERAB is because it would require the documented reversal or amendment of the rater evaluation or written evidence to that fact, and he disagrees with his removal from command and contests the subsequent performance report. However, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the...

The fact that applicant has been granted certain service connected disability ratings from the DVA does not entitle him to Air Force disability compensation, or change in his existing military disability ratings. The advisory did not mention the VA records he provided with this application, and he believes these records reflect that his judgment was impaired because he was not taking his medication as recommended. The fact the DVA did not lower his DVA service connected rating when his...

Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) case, Docket Number BC-2002- 02848 had similar facts wherein the PAFSC was not correct and negatively impacted the officer's promotion. The applicant also asserts, in essence, that based on the error with his PAFSC that his appeal is similar to AFBCMR BC-2002-02848 and that relief is warranted using the same rationale for an SSB. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The...
