STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 10 Feb 04, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s 
appeal, requesting his separation and reentry codes be changed 
to allow him to reenlist into military service.  A complete copy 
of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit G (with 
Exhibits A through F).

By DD Form 149, dated 3 Nov 09, applicant requests 
reconsideration of his request, contending that his records 
should reflect the real reasons for his separation.  His records 
contain information regarding his suicide attempts and 
hospitalization.  The applicant further states his psychiatrist 
believes he was given an incorrect diagnosis for his mental 
condition.  His suicide ideation was more severe than what was 
noted.  His performance and conduct was excellent prior to the 
incidents which led to his discharge.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits documents extracted 
from his military medical records.



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

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence of record and 
considered the weight and relevance of the additional 
documentation provided by the applicant, and whether or not it 
was discoverable at the time of any previous application.  
However, since no new and relevant evidence has been provided, 
we find the request does not meet the criteria for 
reconsideration.  As the applicant has been previously advised, 
reconsideration is provided only where newly discovered relevant 
evidence is presented which was not available when the 
application was submitted.  Further, the reiteration of facts we 
have previously addressed, uncorroborated personal observations, 
or additional arguments on the evidence of record are not 
adequate grounds for reopening a case.  Therefore, in view of 
the above and in the absence of new and relevant evidence, we 
find no basis to reconsider the applicant’s request.

________________________________________________________________
_

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the additional evidence presented 
did not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
