Dear
This is 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 in executive session, considered your

thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies.
Your allegations of error and
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 27 April 1999 at
age 21.
The record reflects that on 11 July 2000 you submitted a
written request for an other than honorable discharge in order to
avoid trial by court-martial for an-unauthorized absence of
247
days.
Your record also shows that prior to submitting this
request you conferred with a qualified military lawyer at which
time you were advised of your rights and warned of the probable
adverse consequences of accepting such a discharge.

action, you were spared the stigma of a court-martial conviction

and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon
request.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.
The Board did not consider whether your characterization of
service should be changed,
since you did not ask for such
consideration and you have not exhausted your administrative
remedy by applying to the Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB).
You may apply to NDRB by submitting the attached DD Form 293.
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,
W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
