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

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03707

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to honorable.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 12 May 15, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request to upgrade his general (under honorable conditions) discharge to honorable.  For an accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale of the Board’s earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit D.  

By DD Form 149, dated 4 Jul 15, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration.  In this request, the applicant makes the following contentions:

	a.  There was no record of drug use.  He was married, lived on-base, and did not have a car.  To this day, statements were made that he will always regret.   

	b.  He was never given a drug test.  His post-service record should be proof that he could have been put on probation or offered rehabilitation.    

In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement from his spouse, copies of his Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report, certificates, character reference letters, and various other documents associated with his request.  

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

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In an earlier finding, we determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action regarding the applicant’s request for upgrade of his general (under honorable conditions) discharge to honorable.  We have reviewed the applicant’s most recent submission and find the evidence provided insufficient to warrant a reversal of our previous determination in this case.  The applicant again has not provided any evidence that his service characterization was improper or contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation in effect at the time.  We considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented is sufficient to convince us to recommend granting the relief sought on that basis.  Accordingly, we find no basis to act favorably on his request for upgrade of his general (under honorable conditions) discharge.  

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material 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.
