The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and immaturity,
.your contention that you were
forced out of the Marine Corps because of your weight problem.
However, the Board concluded these factors and contention were
not sufficient to warrant a change in the characterization of
your service because of your failure to complete recruit training
and your defective attitude.
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.

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

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,
