ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01270-2

	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: YES

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Board reconsider his request to upgrade his bad conduct discharge to honorable.

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 18 Sep 07, the Board considered and denied a request for correction of military records submitted by the applicant, finding that the applicant had presented insufficient relevant evidence of an error or injustice to justify relief.  The Board also declined to upgrade the discharge based on clemency.

A request for post-service information was forwarded to the applicant on 25 Jan 18, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit I).  The applicant replied on 26 Feb 18.  In his response, he contended that while working for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations as an undercover agent, he occasionally used drugs to protect himself from the people he was investigating.  Consequently, he became addicted to drugs and was incarcerated for 10 months.  In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of character statements.

The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit J.

For an accounting of the applicant’s original request and the rationale of the earlier decision, see the AFBCMR Letter and Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice.  In the interest of justice, the Board considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, given the evidence presented, the Board finds no basis to do so.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

2.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to the Board’s understanding of the issues involved.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION:

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered Docket Number BC-2007-01270-2 in Executive Session on 26 Jul 18:
