		INDEX CODE:  131.09

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her rank of E-6 be restored.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 7 Oct 03, the Board considered and denied an application pertaining to the applicant, in which she requested that her rank of E-6 be restored.  A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit I (with Exhibits A through H).

By letter, dated 4 Oct 04, the applicant requests reconsideration of her appeal based on new evidence she has provided which, in her view, shows the injustice she experienced, and the lack of character and inappropriate actions her commander displayed during and after her incidents.

She respectfully asks the Board to look past the fact she deserved punishment.  She will be the first to admit that punishment was necessary.  If her experience would have stopped at the punishment, she would be able to accept what happened and put the experience behind her.  She wants the Board to look into the facts she has provided to determine she is not exaggerating, and that she is telling the truth.  She asks the Board to restore her rank, not because she did not deserve punishment, but because she was never given a chance and was treated unjustly.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit J.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  In an earlier finding, the Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action regarding the applicant’s request to have her rank of E-6 restored.  We have reviewed the applicant’s most recent submission and find the evidence provided insufficient to warrant a reversal of the Board’s previous determination in this case.  As was noted in her original appeal, she was reduced in rank by nonjudicial punishments under Article 15 for being drunk on duty, and no evidence was found of an abuse of discretionary authority.  The applicant has not provided any evidence with this submission showing to our satisfaction that her commander did, in fact, abuse his authority.  In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of sufficient evidence to the contrary, we adhere to the previous decision in this case and conclude that no basis exists to act favorably on the applicant’s request.

2.  We took note of the applicant’s comments concerning her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) closing 14 Sep 02, as well as the documentation pertaining to her appeal to the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) to have the report declared void.  Such a request was not a part of her original appeal to the AFBCMR.  Notwithstanding this, no evidence has been presented which would lead us to believe the report was an inaccurate assessment of her performance at the time it was rendered.  Accordingly, corrective action regarding her EPR is 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.
