Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the
provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 7 February 2002.

applicable to the proceedings of this Board.
consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your
naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

Your allegations of error and

Documentary material considered by the Board

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 noted, notwithstanding your contention to the contrary, that your case was
considered by the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB). The review took place on 3 October
1983. The PEB made preliminary findings that you were unfit for duty by reason of physical
disability incurred as a result of your own misconduct, and therefore not ratable. Available
records indicate that you were injured when you walked into the path of a motor vehicle
traveling on a highway with 55 miles per hour speed limit while your were highly
intoxicated. You accepted the findings of the PEB on 19 December 1983, and were
discharged on 14 February 1984 without entitlement to disability severance pay. Following
your discharge, the Department of Veterans Affairs independently determined that your
disability was incurred as a result of your own misconduct.

In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that the findings made by the PEB in your
case were erroneous, and that your injuries were incurred in the line of duty, the Board was
unable to recommend any corrective action in your case.

Accordingly, your application has

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 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
