RESUME OF CASE: 

 

On 19 January 2011, the Board considered and denied the 
applicant’s appeal. For an accounting of the facts and 
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s appeal and the 
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of 
Proceedings, with attachments, at Exhibit H. 

 

In a letter to the Board dated 15 June 2012, the applicant, via 
his representative, requests reconsideration and provides 
additional evidence. He is not denying his lack of judgment and 
is truly sorry for what happened and is taking appropriate steps 
to make his life better. The bad conduct discharge is too severe 
a punishment because at that time he did not have the medical 
evidence showing he has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). If the 
medical evidence would have been available the judge would have 
been able to deliver a more equitable punishment. He further 
states that he seeks gainful employment in order to be a 
functioning member of society and is working towards a degree in 
Information Technology. He understands that he used poor 
judgment while in the Air Force. Medical tests provided show 
that his poor judgment was based largely on his ADD. He is not 
using this as an excuse, rather trying to understand the root of 
the problem and with guidance make better decisions. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit I.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After 
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in 
support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has provided sufficient evidence to warrant 
an upgrade to the characterization of his service on the basis of 
clemency. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to recommend 
favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
