	IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-00162-2

		COUNSEL: None

	HEARING: No

APPLICANT’S REQUEST.  In his request for reconsideration of the Board’s 2015 denial, the applicant asks that his bad conduct discharge (BCD), imposed by court-martial, be upgraded.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.  As he did in his first request to the Board, he contends that he was not in the country at the time of the offenses for which he was court-martialed.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G.

STATEMENT OF FACTS.  On 9 Dec 04, the applicant was convicted at a general court-martial of absence without leave terminated by apprehension and wrongful distribution of marijuana.  On 18 Dec 07, pursuant to the sentence of the court-martial, the applicant was discharged with a BCD in the grade of airman basic.  He had served 6 years, 8 months and 3 days on active duty.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisories at Exhibits H and I.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) Psychiatrist and AFLOA/JAJM recommend denying the application.  The complete advisories are at Exhibits H and I.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  The Board sent copies of the Air Force evaluations to the applicant on 2 Feb 18 for comment (Exhibit J), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1. The application was timely filed.  

2. The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.  

3. After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error and injustice.  The Board concurs with the AFBCMR Psychiatric Advisor and AFLOA/JAJM and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS: The applicant be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the matter will only be reconsidered upon the submission of relevant evidence not considered with this application.

CERTIFICATION: The following quorum of the Board, as defined in paragraph 1.5 of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-00162-2 in Executive Session on 22 Mar 18:
