ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2008-00854 COUNSEL:	NONE
XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1.	His under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to honorable.

2.	The narrative reason for separation of “Involuntary Discharge: Misconduct, Moral or Professional Dereliction: Homosexual Acts” be changed.

3.	The Separation Program Designator (SPD) Code of GRA, which denotes “Homosexual Conduct (Acts)” be changed.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 April 2009, the Board considered and denied a similar request. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s initial request, and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit I.

On 28 July 2010, he submitted a request for reconsideration of his appeal to upgrade his discharge based on clemency, contending that it bars him from Veterans Affairs Benefits.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal letter, copies of his VA Form 10-7055, Application for Voluntary Service; his post service and character references.

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

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 his appeal, and the evidence of record, we do not believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in our previous decision to warrant upgrading his discharge on the basis

of clemency. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to upgrade the applicant’s UOTHC discharge.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant is 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 considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2008-00854 in Executive Session on 12 April 2011 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
