DEPARTMENT  OF THE  NAVY 

BOARD  FOR  CORRECTION  OF  NAVAL  RECORDS 

2  NAVY  ANNEX 

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

TRG 
Docket No: 10639-02 
2 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 oE  Naval 
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your 
application on 22 April 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 reenlisted in the Navy for two years on 4 March 1997 as a 
petty officer second class (OS2; E-5).  On 10 February 1977 you 
received nonjudicial punishment  (NJP) for two specifications of 
unauthorized absence, disobedience, dereliction of duty and 
making a false official statement.  The punishment imposed 
included a reduction in rate, which was suspended.  The 
performance evaluation for the period 16 March 1998 to 10 
February 1999 is adverse with an individual trait average of 1.86 
and you were not recommended for promotion or retention in the 
Navy.  The commanding officer's comments, in part, are as 
follows : 

....  (He) has demonstrated a blatant disregard for 
authority, evidenced in his unauthorized absence from 
duty.  His performance continues to uroller-coastern 
based on (his) convenience.  (He) was formally 
counseled on 16 April 1998, 2 June 1998, 4 June 1998, 
12 July 1998, 16 July 1998, 25 July 1998, '15 August 
1998, 10 November 1998, and 7 February 1999 regarding 
specific performance shortfalls. ...." 

S-ubsequently, the ending date of the evaluation was extended to 
coincide with your discharge from the Navy.  You were honorably 
discharged at the expiration of your enlistment on 3 March 1999. 
At that time, you had completed 16 years, 9 month,s and 23 days of 
active service. 

The Board noted that you received NJP on 10 February 1999 only 
about 22 days before the expiration of your enlistment.  Further, 
the final performance evaluation describes persistent performance 
problems from 16 March 1998.  The Board concluded that the NJP 
and adverse performance evaluation were sufficient to support the 
denial of your reenlistment and assignment of the RE-4 
reenlistment code.  Accordingly, your application has been 
denied.  The names and votes of the members of the  ane el  will be 
furnished upon request. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your cabe  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
