ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2017-01203
	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Board reconsider his request to amend his Special Order awarding him the Airman’s Medal to include a 10 percent increase in retired pay.

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 20 Feb 18, the Board considered and denied a similar request for correction of military records submitted by the applicant, finding 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 E.

On 19 Apr 18, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request.  He contends, on 8 Jan 18, he requested his case be administratively closed to allow time for collection of supporting documentation.  However, despite receipt of his request within the allowed 30-day response window, his case was presented to the Board, and denied, without his rebuttal.  The applicant’s rebuttal documentation, dated 5 Jan 18 (Exhibit F), was delivered to SAF/MRBC via United States Postal Service on 17 Apr 18. 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibits F and G.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing all Exhibits, to include the applicant’s prior submission, and the additional evidence provided in support of his appeal, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice and 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-2017-01203 in Executive Session on 30 Apr 18:
