INDEX NUMBER: 126.00; 111.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: Yes
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Article 15 imposed on him on 18 Mar 04 be set aside.
The Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) rendered on him for the period
19 Mar 03 through 18 Mar 04 be declared void and removed from his
records.
The Letter of Reprimand he received, dated 17 Feb 04 be declared void
and removed from his records.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 18 May 06, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s above
stated requests (Exhibit J). In a letter dated 26 May 06, the
applicant provided as additional evidence for the Board’s
consideration a copy of a TDY order, dated 11 Apr 03, which he states
shows that his contested EPR failed to document all his
accomplishments (Exhibit K). At the time the applicant’s additional
evidence was received, the Board had already rendered a decision and
the applicant’s case had already been closed. The additional evidence
was considered a request for reconsideration. Prior to processing of
the reconsideration, the applicant submitted an undated DD Form 149
with an attachment, dated 8 Oct 06, requesting reconsideration of his
case and providing additional evidence (Exhibit L). The applicant
provides as new evidence the results of a polygraph examination he
contracted for and an affidavit. The applicant recounts the
contentions made in his initial application and provides argument on
the admissibility of the results of his polygraph. The applicant
provides a total of 13 reasons he feels the Board should grant his
requests. In an undated letter, the applicant provides a copy of a
letter he sent to the Deputy Staff Judge Advocate involved in his case
and an unofficial copy of the transcript of the airman he contends was
not punished for breaking the same no contact order he was punished
for (Exhibit M).
_________________________________________________________________
ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Pursuant to the Board’s request, AFLOA/JAJM provided an additional
evaluation of the applicant’s request for reconsideration. JAJM
addressed the applicant’s request to set aside the Article 15 and
recommends the applicant’s request be denied.
AFLOA/JAJM notes they addressed the applicant’s arguments in their
previous advisory and that their recommendation remains unchanged. In
his submission, the applicant contends he has provided new evidence in
the form of an affidavit signed by him and the answer to four
polygraph questions. However, nothing in the applicant’s submissions
is actually new factual evidence. Everything continues to be the same
uncorroborated personal subjective version of the events in which he
admits no fault. Furthermore, most of the facts that the applicant
provides are unsubstantiated and the applicant provides absolutely no
evidence to corroborate them. There is no evidence of impropriety in
the manner in which the applicant’s commander conducted the
nonjudicial punishment proceedings and the applicant was afforded all
due process and appellate rights accorded by law. The Article 15
action underwent a full legal review at two separate levels and was
found to be legally sufficient.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit N.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In an undated letter, applicant responds that the JAJM evaluation
provides nothing to refute the evidence submitted. The applicant
asserts what he considers to be false statements provided by JAJM and
provides what he considers to be the truth of the matter. The
applicant also provides argument, with examples of case law, on the
admissibility of polygraph examinations. The applicant states that he
requests a personal appearance before the Board to discuss the
evidence he has provided.
The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit P.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. Insufficient newly discovered relevant evidence has been presented
to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After reviewing
the complete evidence of record, including the applicant’s new
submissions, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of
AFLOA/JAJM and adopt its rationale as the primary basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Notwithstanding the applicant’s rebuttal to AFLOA/JAJM’s
advisory opinion, we do not find the results of the polygraph
examination he voluntarily undertook sufficiently compelling to
reverse the Board’s previous determination. As such, we find no basis
to recommend granting the relief sought in this reconsideration
request.
2. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is again not favorably considered
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.
