                       DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
                    BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS


                                2 NAVY ANNEX
                          WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

                                                        JRE
                                                        Docket No. 07958-04
                                                        17 October 2005













     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 October
     2005. 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 concluded that the evidence submitted was insufficient to
     establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. In
     this regard, the Board found that although you tested positive for
     antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there is no
     indication in your record that you were unfit to perform the duties of
     your office, grade, rank or rating by reason of physical disability.
     The Board noted that as you were discharged by reason of drug abuse,
     you would not have been entitled to disability separation or
     retirement even if your condition had been symptomatic and you had
     been unfit for duty. The Board concluded that your service was
     properly characterized with a discharge under other than honorable
     conditions, based on your use of illegal drugs, and that it would not
     be in the interest of justice for the Board to
upgrade your discharge to honorable or general. 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,



                                      V
