thereof,
your naval record,
and applicable statutes, regulations,
and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 11 May 1966 at age 17.
1967 you received nonjudicial punishment
duty and were awarded a $50 forfeiture of pay and correctional
custody for 20 days.
During the period from 1 to 20 February 1967, after being
referred for medical evaluations for anxiety reactions and acute
anxiety with depression, you were diagnosed with an emotionally
unstable personality manifested by your failure to accept
responsibility, poor judgment,
resentment of authority figures,
fluctuating emotional attitudes,
and poor control of anxiety and
hostility.

further retention in the service would not be in the best
interest of the Navy.
discharge authority directed separation with the type of
discharge warranted by your service record, and on 23 June 1967
you were issued a general discharge by reason of unsuitability.
Character of service is based, in part,
on conduct and overall
trait averages which are computed from marks assigned during
periodic evaluations.
An average
of 3.0 in conduct was required at the time of your separation for
a fully honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and immaturity,
the diagnosed character and behavior
disorder, and post service conduct.
Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors and contention were not sufficient to
warrant recharacterization of your discharge because of the NJP
and since your conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant
an 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.
