Docket No: 6593-09
4 June 2010
This igs 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 im executive session, considered your
application on 3 June 2010. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 ail
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 26 July 1982 at age 18. You served
without disciplinary incident until 14 December 1983, when you
received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for wrongful: use of
cocaine. The punishment imposed was restriction and extra duty
for 45 days, reduction to paygrade E-2, and a $668 forfeiture of
pay.
Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation
by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. After waiving your
procedural rights, the discharge authority directed your
commanding officer to issue you an other than honorable discharge
by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse, and on 7 March 1984,
you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, post service conduct, and desire to upgrade your
discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of the seriousness of your drug related misconduct which
resulted in an NUP. Finally, you were given an opportunity to
defend yourself, but waived your procedural right to present your
case to an administrative discharge board. Accordingly, your
application has been denied.
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,
\ yen sie
