ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2000-00585

	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Board reconsider his request to upgrade his general (under honorable conditions) discharge to honorable.

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 17 August 2000, 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 E.

On 15 June 2017, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request.  He again contends that when he was discharged, he was told that he could apply for an upgrade of his discharge after ten years of being separated.  Since his discharge, he has lived a fulfilling life and is now retired after being self-employed.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit F.

On 9 February 2018, a request for post-service information was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit G).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

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-2000-00585 in Executive Session on 28 June 2018:
