ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04757
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) discharge be changed to Honorable.
RESUME OF THE CASE:
On 25 May 11, the Board considered and denied the applicants original request to make the same corrections to her records. In the original case, the applicant contended the statements and allegations which led to her UOTHC discharge were untrue, and it was unfair to give her a UOTHC discharge because she was so close to finishing her four year tour. The applicant was sent a copy of her FBI Investigation Report which showed she had been detained and released in 1997 concerning possession of forged bills, and a request for post-service information with an explanation of the BCMR requirements for requesting clemency. As of 25 May 11, she had not responded to the information sent to her. The Board determined insufficient relevant evidence had been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice, and in the absence of any evidence of a successful post-service transition on which to determine if it would be in the interest of justice to correct the record on the basis of clemency, voted to deny her request. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicants original request and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit E.
On 27 Feb 14, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration of her original application based upon clemency, and submitted two letters of support from acquaintances, some background information on her family, and her explanation of the details of her detention by the police in 1997 reflected in the FBI Report. She reiterates her original contention that on the date of the party where she was alleged to have used drugs, she was at home on leave. She accepted a UOTHC discharge to avoid the stress of a trial, but at the time she didnt realize she would not be considered a veteran. The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support of this request, we remain unconvinced the applicant has been a victim of an error or injustice. We have previously determined the applicants UOTHC discharge was proper and in compliance with the requirements of the governing directive in effect at the time. While the applicants contentions are duly noted, her latest submission has not persuaded us otherwise. Furthermore, we remain unconvinced the seriousness of her misconduct has been overcome by her post-service activities. Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material 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.
