ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2018-02446-2

	COUNSEL:  NONE

	HEARING REQUESTED:  NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

The Board reconsider his request to upgrade his Under Honorable Conditions (General) discharge to an Honorable discharge.

RESUME OF THE CASE

The applicant is a former Air Force staff sergeant.

On 6 Jun 19, the Board considered and denied his request for an upgrade of his general discharge to an honorable discharge, 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, with Exhibits A-F at Exhibit G. 

On 28 Oct 19, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request to upgrade his general discharge to an honorable discharge.  He contends the analysis that the government provided him surrounding his situation at that time to be degrading and embarrassing.  He acknowledges and takes ownership of the error he caused.  He believes he has led an honorable life, and we are a country of second chances and embraces that belief in his own life. 

According to the FBI report provided by the applicant, he has not had any arrests since his discharge.

In support of his request, the applicant has provided an FBI background report and his Arizona Motor Vehicle Department driving record.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice.  The Board finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we do not find the evidence presented sufficient to override the previous decision of the Board.  However, should the applicant provide new evidence pertaining to his post-service accomplishments the Board would be willing to review the materials for possible reconsideration.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
