STATEMENT OF FACTS:

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on      24 October 2008.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

By letter, dated 5 November 2008, applicant requests reconsideration of his request, contending that his commander submitted a recommendation for the award of the BSM and that he was selected to receive the BSM award.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a personal statement and a copy of Part II Monthly Maintenance Data Analysis reports.

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

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 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.

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 our understanding of the issue involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
