STATEMENT OF FACTS

On 17 Jan 05, the applicant requested that his records be 
corrected to show that he was retired in the grade of lieutenant 
colonel rather than major.  After considering all the facts and 
evidence in the case, on 17 May 05, the Board denied his request 
citing the fact the applicant requested a voluntary retirement 
in the grade of major.  For an accounting of the facts and 
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request and the 
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record 
of Proceedings at Exhibit E.

By way of a letter, dated 26 Jan 12, the applicant requests 
reconsideration of his request and submits additional supporting 
documentation for consideration.  In support of his request, he 
provides a personal statement indicating that he retired from 
the Air Force on 1 Jun 04, in the grade of lieutenant colonel.  
However, due to some confusion over the time in grade 
requirements he receives retirement pay equivalent to a major.  
After serving eight years of inactive reserve, he petitions the 
Board to consider increasing his retired pay to that of a 
lieutenant colonel, effective 1 Jun 12, the anniversary date of 
his retirement.  He also provides a copy of his retirement 
order.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence of record and 
considered the weight and relevance of the additional 
documentation provided by the applicant, and whether or not it 
was discoverable at the time of any previous application.  While 
we find the additional documentation rendered in support of the 
applicant’s request is new, we do not find it relevant.  As the 
applicant has been previously advised, reconsideration is 
provided only where newly discovered relevant evidence is 
presented which was not available when the application was 
submitted.  Further, the reiteration of facts we have previously 
addressed, uncorroborated personal observations, or additional 
arguments on the evidence of record are not adequate grounds for 
reopening a case.  Therefore, in view of the above and in the 
absence of new and relevant evidence, we find no basis to 
reconsider the applicant’s request.

________________________________________________________________
_

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the additional evidence presented did 
not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
