Docket No: 3622-03 
27 October 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 21 October 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 Marine Corps on 24 June 1996 at age 18. 
Subsequently, you were counseled on numerous occasions concerning 
problems which included your lack of professionalism, self- 
discipline, maturity and leadership.  Additionally, you received 
nonjudicial punishment on two occasions for numerous incidents of 
unauthorized absence.  On 23 June 2000, you were released from 
active duty with your service characterized as honorable in the 
rank of lance corporal. At that time, you acknowledged that you 
were not recommended for reenlistment and would be assigned an 
RE-4 reenlistment code. 

In support of your application, you have submitted documentation 
showing that a warrant officer and a staff sergeant supported 
your request for reenlistment in 2000.  You contend, in effect, 
that your reenlistment was improperly denied. 

The Board concluded that a record that included two nonjudicial 
punishments and several counseling entries was sufficient to 
support the denial of your request for reenlistment, and the 
assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code.  The Board noted t h a t  
you would have been competing for reenlistment with many others 

who did not have any disciplinary infractions or counseling 
entries. 

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.
