CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the

In this regard, the Board notes that Petitioner had
only a single NJP for a relatively minor offense in four years

The Board further notes that the record is devoid of any
counseling entries documenting any deficiencies in Petitioner's
performance or motivation.
Further, his enlisted performance
