ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05694-2

	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 17 September 2013, the Board considered and denied a request for correction of military records submitted by the applicant, finding that the applicant had provided insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to justify relief.

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 F.

On 12 February 2017, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request.  He again contends that he had over six years of exemplary, honorable service prior to the incident that led up to his discharge.  His discharge was inequitable because it was precipitated by one isolated civilian incident.  Since his discharge, he has not had any criminal incidents except for minor traffic offenses.  He has been attending a community college.  His goal is to obtain a degree in early education and ultimately be eligible for the “Troops to Teachers” program.  He would like the discharge upgraded so that he can qualify for Veterans Administration benefits.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.

On 11 May 2018, a request for post-service information was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit H).  As of this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice and therefore finds no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

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-2012-05694-2 in Executive Session on 31 May 2018:

Exhibit G:	Application, DD Form 149, w/atchs, dated 12 February 2017.
Exhibit H:	Post Service Clemency Letter, SAF/MRBC, dated 11 May 2018.
