Docket No: 6136-02
12 May 2003
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 May 2003. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of
your application, together with all material submitted in support
thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies.
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 22 August 1975.
The record reflects that you received two nonjudicial punishments
and were convicted by a special court-martial. The offenses
included larceny on two occasions, possession of marijuana, and
failure to obey a lawful order. On 9 October 1979 you were
separated under honorable conditions and transferred to the Naval
Reserve.
Character of service is based, in part, on one's conduct and
overall traits averages, both of which are computed from marks
assigned during periodic evaluations. Your conduct and overall
trait averages were .2.85 and 3.27, respectively. A minimum
average conduct mark of 3.0 was required for a fully honorable
characterization of service at the time of separation.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
immaturit)
not suffic ient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
However, the Board concluded that these factors were
,
due to the three disciplinary actions as well as the fact that
your conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant a fully
honorable discharge. Accordingly, your application has been
denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished 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
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,
