BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC 203704100 

T JR 
Docket No:  8785-98 
30 June 1999 

Dear 

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 reenlisted in the Navy on 19 August  1992 
after four years of prior honorable service.  Your record 
reflects that you continued  to serve for a year and nine months 
without incident but on 20 May  1994 you received nonjudicial 
punishment  (NJP) for aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon. 
The punishment  imposed was restriction and extra duty for 45 
days, forfeitures totalling $1,105.80, and reduction to paygrade 
E-3. 

On 23 May  1994 you were notified of pending  administrative 
separation action by reason of misconduct due to commission of a 
serious offense.  After consulting with legal counsel you elected 
to present your case to an administrative discharge board  (ADB). 
On 30 June 1994 an ADB recommended you be issued a general 
discharge by reason of misconduct due to commission of a serious 
offense.  Subsequently, 25 July 1994, your commanding officer 
recommended you be issued a general discharge by reason of 
misconduct.  On 19 August  1994 the discharge authority approved 
the foregoing recommendations and on 30 August  1994 you were so 
discharged. 

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, 
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating  factors, such as 
your youth and immaturity and your contentions that you would 
like your discharge upgraded.  However,  the Board concluded these 
factors were not sufficient to warrant  recharacterization of your 
discharge given the serious nature of your misconduct.  The Board 
noted that you assaulted a superior petty officer by pointing a 
nine-inch knife at him.  Given all  the circumstances in your case 
the Board concluded your discharge was 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
