DEPARTMENT OF THE  NAVY 

BOARD  FOR  C O R R E C T I O N  O F  NAVAL  RECORDS 

2  NAVY  ANNEX 

WASHINGTON  DC  2 0 3 7 0 - 5 1 0 0  

TRG 
Docket No:  10608-02 
9 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 6 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. 

You enlisted in the Naval.Reserve on 12 January 1985 at age 17 
and reported for three years of active duty on 29 January 1987. 
On 24 April 1987 you received nonjudicial punishment for the 
theft of 253 pills from a hospital clinic and soliciting another 
servicemember to pose for nude homosexual photographs. 

Based on those offenses, you were processed for an administrative 
discharge.  In connection with that processing, you elected to 
waive the right to have your case heard by an administrative 
discharge board.  After review the discharge authority directed 
discharge for misconduct with a discharge under other than 
honorable conditions.  You were so discharged on 15 June 1987. 

In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all 
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and desire for 
a better discharge.  The Board found that these factors were not 
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge given 
your theft of pills and other misconduct.  The Board concluded 
that the discharge was proper as issued and no chahge 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. 

Sincerely, 

W. DEAN PFEIFFER 
Executive Director
