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


                                    TJR
                                    Docket No: 3196-06
                                                                                  18 October 2006


This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 17 October 2006. 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.
You reenlisted in the Navy on 14 October 1983 after four years of prior honorable service. You continued to serve without disciplinary incident until 30 May 1985, when you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful use of hashish. The punishment imposed was a $924 forfeiture of pay, restriction and extra duty for 30 days, and a reduction to paygrade E-3, which was suspended for six months.
On 23 August 1985 you were notified of pending administrative separation action by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. At that time you waived your right to consult with legal counsel and to present your case to an administrative discharge board. On 28 August 1985 your commanding officer recommended discharge under other than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. On 22 September 1985 the discharge authority approved this recommendation and directed an other than honorable discharge, and on 27 September 1985 you were so discharged.






The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your prior honorable service. Neverthe1e~s, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterizatjon of your discharge because of your drug related misconduct. 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,



W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
