Docket No: 5256-03
8 August 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 16 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.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 20 June 1961.
The record reflects that you received three nonjudicial
punishments and were convicted by a summary court-martial. The
offenses included unauthorized absences totalling 19 days and two
instances of failure to obey a lawful order.
On 2 October 1964 the commanding officer recommended that you be
separated with a general discharge by reason of unfitness. When
informed of this recommendation, you elected to waive the right
to present your case to an administrative discharge board. After
review by the discharge authority, the recommendation for
separation was approved and on 2 November 1964 you received a
general discharge.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and immaturity
and family problems. However, the Board concluded that these
factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your
discharge, given your record of frequent involvement with
military authorities. In this regard, the Board noted that you
were the subject of four disciplinary actions within a period of
less than four years. 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,
