BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

T JR 
Docket No:  8767-98 
30 June 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 22 June 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 consisted 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient 
to establish the existence of probable material  error or 
injustice. 

The Board found you enlisted in the Navy on 17 March  1986 at the 
age of 22.  Your record reflects that on 14 August  1986 you 
received nonjudicial punishment  (NJP) for larceny.  The 
punishment imposed was restriction for 14 days and forfeitures 
totalling $100.  On 11 February 1987 you received NJP for absence 
from your appointed place of duty, disobedience, and dereliction 
in the performance of your duties.  The punishment imposed was 
restriction for 30 days, forfeitures totalling $200, and 
reduction to paygrade E-2.  The reduction was suspended for six 
months.  However, the foregoing suspension was vacated due to 
your continued misconduct.  On 6 March  1987 you received your 
third NJP for three incidents of absence from your appointed 
place of duty.  The punishment  imposed was restriction for 30 
days, forfeitures totalling $738, and reduction to paygrade E-1. 

Your record further reflects that on 9 March  1987 you were 
notified of pending administrative separation action by reason of 
misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct.  After consulting with 
legal counsel you elected to present your case to an 

administrative discharge board  (ADB) .  On 27 March  1987 an ADB 
recommended you be issued an other than honorable discharge by 
reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct.  On 6 April 
1987 your commanding officer also recommended you be issued an 
other than honorable discharge by reason of misconduct due to a 
pattern of misconduct.  On 23 April  1987 the discharge authority 
approved the foregoing recommendations and on 30 April  1987 you 
were so discharged and assigned an RE-4  reenlistment code. 

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, 
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating  factors, such as 
your youth and immaturity, post service conduct, and your 
contention that you would like your discharge upgraded and your 
reenlistment code changed so that you may reenlist.  However,  the 
Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant 
recharacterization of your discharge or a change in your 
reenlistment code given your frequent misconduct which resulted 
in three NJPs.  Additionally,  an RE-4  reenlistment code is 
required when an individual is discharged by reason of 
misconduct.  Given all the circumstances in your case the Board 
concluded your discharge and reenlistment code were proper as 
issued and no change is warranted.  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
