BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAW ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TJR
Docket No: 2150-99
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 24 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
The Board found you enlisted in the Navy on 7 August 1963 at the
age of 17. Approximately six months later, on 7 February 1964,
you received non judicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful
appropriation and were confined on bread and water for three
days. On 31 July 1964 you received NJP for assault. The
punishment imposed was forfeitures totalling $30 and confinement
on bread and water for three days. On 4 November 1964 you
received NJP for disrespect. The punishment imposed was
restriction for 15 days and forfeitures totalling $15. On 1 and
17 December 1964 you received NJP for absence from your appointed
place of duty and failure to go to your appointed place of duty.
Your record reflects that on 30 September 1965 you received NJP
for breach of peace and assault. The punishment imposed was
restriction for 15 days, extra duty for 10 days, and forfeitures
totalling $35. On 22 July 1966 you received your seventh NJP for
failure to go to your appointed place of duty. The punishment
imposed was restriction for 10 days and forfeitures totalling
$20.
On 20 September 1966, upon completion of your enlistment, you
were released from active duty. Subsequently, you received a
general discharge upon completion of your six year military
obligation.
Character of service is based, in part, on conduct and overall
trait averages which are computed from marks assigned during
periodic evaluations. Your conduct average was 2.73. An average
mark of 3.0 in conduct was required at the time of your
separation for a fully honorable characterization of service.
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 contention 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 frequent misconduct
which resulted in seven NJPs, and since your conduct average was
insufficiently high to warrant an honorable characterization of
service. Given all the circumstances of your case, the Board
concluded your discharge was proper 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.
