DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
_ BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

BAN
Docket No: O05126-09
+ 31 March 2010

 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 31 March 2010. 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.

You enlisted in the Navy on 27 January 1984, and served without
disciplinary incident until 7 February 1985, when you received a
Civil conviction for improper driving (a misdemeanor) . Shortly
thereafter, you received the following nonjudicial punishments
(NJP’s): on 4 April 1986, for unauthorized absence (UA); on 3
September 1987, for the illegal use of a controlled substance
(cocaine) and UA in excess of 17 days; and on 16 December 1987,
for 10 specifications of UA and two specifications of missing
ship’s movement. You were then recommended for separation with
an other than honorable (OTH) discharge due to drug abuse.
Because you waived your procedural right to an administrative
discharge board (ADB), the separation authority approved the
request and on 26 February 1988, you were separated with an OTH
discharge and an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
due to the seriousness of your misconduct. The Board also found
you waived your right to an ADB, your best opportunity for
retention or a better characterization of service. 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 ig 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 PF
Executive Dite dor
