This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant 
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 July 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.
You enlisted in the Navy on 31 May 1962 at age 18.
During the

The undesirable discharge was issued on 19 June 1964.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, limited
education, and your contention that you have become an
upstanding, hardworking citizen.
The Board found that these
factors and contentions were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge given the frequency of your
misconduct, violation of probation, and your request for
discharge while in a probationary status.
Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that you have been
convicted of various offenses over the years since your
discharge, most recently in 2001 when you were convicted of
driving under the influence of alcohol.
your discharge was proper as issued and no change is warranted.
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.

The Board concluded that

Sincerely,

W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
