                            ADDENDUM TO 
                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
He receive a direct promotion to the grade of captain (0-3). 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
On  20  Oct  11,  the  Board  considered  and  denied  the  applicant’s 
request that he be promoted to the grade of captain.  A complete 
copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit E (with 
Exhibits A through D). 
 
By  letter,  dated  19  Dec  11,  the  applicant  requests 
reconsideration  of his request, contending that the destruction 
of  the  records by the fire in 1973 has left him in a “no win” 
position.    He  believes  that  he  earned  the  promotion  for  flying 
with 8th Air Force by evading capture after being shot down over 
France.   
 
In  support  of  the  appeal,  the  applicant  submits  a  personal 
statement and a copy of a newspaper clipping. 
 
Applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit F. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
 
In  earlier  findings,  the  Board  determined  that  there  was 
insufficient  evidence  to  warrant  any  corrective  action.    After 
thoroughly  reviewing  the  additional  documentation  submitted  in 
support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not find 
it sufficient to change our earlier determination in this case.  
Due  to  the  passage  of  time,  the  applicant’s  request  cannot  be 
adequately  addressed  due  to  the  loss  or  destruction  of  the 
records  needed  to  properly  adjudicate  his  request.    While  the 
loss of the applicant’s records is regrettable and is due to no 
fault  of  the  applicant,  nevertheless,  in  the  correction  of 
records process, the burden of proof of the existence of error or 
injustice  rest  with  each  individual  applicant.    Therefore,  in 
view  of  the  above,  and  in  the  absence  of  evidence  to  the 

 

 

 
contrary,  we  find  no  basis  upon  which  to  recommend  favorable 
consideration of the applicant’s request.   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
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. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
The  following  members  of  the  Board  considered  the  applicant’s 
request for reconsideration of AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-01967 
in Executive Session on 17 Jul 12, under the provisions of AFI 
36-2603: 
 
 
 
 
 
The following additional documentary evidence was considered:
