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
