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 1 October 2002.
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.

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.

You enlisted in the Naval Reserve Delayed Entry Program (DEP) on
24 August 1988 at age 24.
In connection with your enlistment in
the DEP, you were honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserve
(USAFR) on 23 October 1988.
This action was required because the
law prohibits an individual from being in two military components
at the same time.
enlistment contract was your agreement to enlist in the Regular
Navy on 9 March 1999.
administratively separated from the Naval Reserve on 9 March
1989.

Since you did not enlist, you were

You contend in your application, in effect, that it was improper
to enlist you in the DEP because you were a member of the Air
Force Reserve and the DEP program is for new enlistees.
a Department of Defense Instruction that states that when there
is an interservice transfer there should be no break in service.
Since time in the DEP does not count for longevity purposes, you
believe that there has been a break in your service.
You also
contend that the Navy did not issue you orders to report to
active duty and the administrative separation for failing to
report for active duty was erroneous.

YOU previously applied to the Air Force Board for Correction
Military Records (AFBCMR) contending that you were improperly
discharged  from the  USAFR and requested credit for several years
of paid drills.

The AFBCMR stated, in part, as follows:

A review of the evidence reveals that the applicant
voluntarily switched military services, ultimately
enlisting in the United States Navy Delayed Enlistment
Program.
However, for some unknown reason, he failed
to report for active duty after several attempts were
made to contact him regarding his active duty
He alleges that he never received
commencement date.
However, we

note that the notices were delivered to the address he
acknowledges that he provided to the Navy recruiter.
Notwithstanding this, we believe that the applicant had
a responsibility to seek to determine his status with
the Navy.
Other than his own assertion, no evidence
has been presented that he did so.

The AFBCMR concluded that your discharge from the USAFR was
proper.

When you did not enlist as you agreed,

The record shows that you voluntarily enlisted in

It is clear from the regulations that your discharge from

Reserve.
the DEP and agreed to enlist in the Regular Navy on or
before 9 March 1989.
the only option left to the Navy was to separate you from
the Naval Reserve.
The Board noted the comments made by
AFBCMR to the effect that the Navy attempted to resolve your
status by sending information concerning your active duty to
the address you provided.
Further, the Board believed that
since the date you were supposed to enlist in the Navy was
entered on the enlistment contract, you should have
contacted the recruiter prior to that date.
The Board
believed that that any problems concerning your military
service were essentially of your own making when you did not
comply with the terms of your contract.
that the actions taken in your case were proper and a change
in your record is not warranted.

The Board concluded

Accordingly, your application has been denied.
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

The names and

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
