                           DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
                    BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
                                2 NAVY ANNEX
      WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

            TRG
                                                     Docket No: 6504-05
                                                     19 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 12 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 found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the
  existence of probable material error or injustice.

  You enlisted in the Navy on 4 September 1985 at age 18. During the period
  from 13 August 1986 to 1 October 1987 you received nonjudicial punishment
  on five occasions. Your offenses were three periods of unauthorized
  absence totaling about 23 days and two instances of breaking restriction.
  In addition you were involved in several alcohol related incidents, but
  were subsequently found not to be alcohol dependent.

  Based on the foregoing record, you were processed for an administrative
  discharged due to a pattern of misconduct. In connection with this
  processing, you elected to waive the right to have your case heard by an
  administrative discharge board. After review, the discharge authority
  directed discharge under other than honorable conditions and you were so
  discharged on 15 January 1988.

  In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
  potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, alcohol abuse
  problem, and desire for a better discharge so that you can receive
  veterans benefits. The Board found that these factors were not sufficient
  to warrant recharacterization of your













discharge given your record of misconduct. The Board concluded that your
discharge was proper as issued and no change 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,











                                      2
