BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 1745-99
12 August 1999
Dear
This is in reference to your application tor correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions ofi 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 11 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 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 5 January 1976
at age 19. Your record reflects that on 12 August 1976 you
received nonjudicial punishment for unauthorized absences
totalling 49 days. On 19 August 1976 you received a general
discharge by reason of convenience of the government due to a
reduction in authorized strength.
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 both 2.8. 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 Boar carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as yo r youth and
immaturity. However, the Board concluded that these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterizatian of your discharge
g i v ~ n your d'-yiplinary action and since your conduct agerage was
1
insufficiently high to warrant a fully hon rable discharge.
Accordingly, your application has been den ed. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be urnished 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.
