ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-03043 INDEX CODE: 131.03 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES ___________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His discharge characterization be changed from dismissal to a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. ________________________________________________________________ _ RESUME OF CASE: A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 10 May 2006. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation; and, the rationale of the earlier decisions by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit E. On 10 November 2009, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration. In support of his request, he submits numerous character references, congressional correspondence, a Center for Disease Control (CDC) fact sheet, a resume, and two award certificates. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant correcting the records to upgrade the applicant’s discharge. After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support of his appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant’s characterization of discharge should be upgraded. We carefully considered the statement provided by the applicant and the provided character references; however, we do not find it sufficient to overturn our earlier decision. Accordingly, we again find no basis to act favorably on his request. 2. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. ________________________________________________________________ _ The following members of the Board considered Docket Number BC- 2005-03043 in Executive Session on 8 July 2010, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Panel Chair XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Member The following documentary evidence was considered in connection with AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2005-03043: Exhibit E.
