ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01112 INDEX CODE: 110.00 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ______________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His uncharacterized discharge be changed to honorable. ________________________________________________________________ RESUME OF CASE: On 17 November 2004, the Board considered and denied a request by the applicant to change his Reenlistment Eligibiity (RE) code from 2C “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service,” to one that would have allowed him to reenter into the US military. For an accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale of the Board’s earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G. On 26 May 2005, the Board considered and denied an appeal for his uncharacterized discharge to be upgraded to an honorable discharge. For an accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit H. On 5 April 2009, the applicant requested reconsideration of his appeal to have his uncharacterized discharge upgraded to an honorable discharge contending he did nothing to disgrace the military and he should be allowed to receive an honorable discharge. In support of his appeal for reconsideration, applicant provides a copy of page two of the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) rating decision. His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit I. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: In earlier findings, the Board determined 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 believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in our previous decision. 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. ________________________________________________________________ _ RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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 reconsidered BC-2005-01112 in Executive Session on 13 August 2009, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: XXXXXXXXXXXXX, Panel Chair XXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member XXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit H.
