A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval

injustice were reviewed in accordanoe with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was

error or injustice.

In its review of your application the Boar carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as yo k r contention, in
effect, that you were improperly discharged because you were
arrested by civil authorities for a minor offense while home on
emergency leave. The Board found that these factors and
contentions were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of
your discharge given your period of unauthprized absence and
especially your conviction by civil author$ties of theft. The
Board noted that there is no evidence of emergency leave in the
record. Since you never returned to the Marine Corps, the record
shows that you were an unauthorized absentee from 2 February 1970
until your discharge, a period of about 134 days. The Board
concluded that the discharge was proper as issued and no change
is warranted.
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.
Sincerely,
