discharge given the frequency of your misconduct and especially the last two periods of absences which resulted in the general court-martial conviction. There is no evidence in the record, and you have submitted none, to show that you suffered from seasickness. However, even if true, such a condition was not considered sufficient to excuse or mitigate your misconduct. The Board concluded that the 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
