A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 28 November 2012. Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing the characterization of your discharge, given your record of three NJP’s, two convictions by SPCM’s, and by two SCM’s of serious misconduct.

The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The applicant essentially states that his DD Form 214 that was issued at the time of his discharge and immediate reenlistment does not list his dates of service for his first tour in Vietnam, and states that the dates of service for his first tour in Vietnam were from April 1966 to April 1967.

He was issued a bad conduct discharge on 8 June 1970 under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200 (Personnel Separations Enlisted Personnel), chapter 11, as a result of a court-martial. His conviction and discharge were effected in accordance with applicable law and regulations and the discharge appropriately characterizes the misconduct for which he was convicted. Therefore, the applicant's record of service is insufficiently meritorious to warrant an honorable or a general discharge.
