BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAW ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 5737-98
31 August 1999
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United
States Code, Section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 4 August 1999. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board c~nsisted of
your application, together with all material submitted in support
thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Naval Reserve on 21
September 1978 at age 18. You reported to active duty on 6
October 1978. Your record reflects that you received two
nonjudicial punishments. The offenses included unauthorized
absences of more than a day, disrespect, absence from your
appointed place of duty, and failure to obey a lawful order. On
9 October 1981 you were separated under honorable conditions and
transferred to the Naval Reserve. On 20 September 1984 you
received a general discharge from the Naval Reserve.
Character of service is based, in part, on one's conduct and
overall trait averages, both of which are computed from marks
assigned during periodic evaluations. Your conduct and overall
trait averages were 2.85 and 2.87, respectively. A minimum
average conduct mark of 3.0 was required for a fully honorable
characterization of service at the time of your separation.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your limited education
and youth and immaturity. However, the Board concluded that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given your two disciplinary actions and since
your conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant a fully
honorable discharge. Accordingly, your application has been
denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the
Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material
evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board.
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a
presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
