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

 SJN
Docket No: 08109-06
2 March 2007




         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 28 February 2007. 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 enlisted in the Navy on 22 May 1980 at age 18. on 11 June and 10 December 1981 you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for two instances of disobedience, possession of marijuana drug paraphernalia and an illegal knife. On 8 June and 31 August 1982 you were convicted by special court-martial (SPCM) of 10 specifications of failure to go to your appointed place of duty, two periods of unauthorized absence (UA) totaling six days, disorderly conduct and assault.
On 27 December 1982 you were notified of pending administrative separation action by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. You waived your right to consult with counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB).
On 5 January 1983, your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. On 2 March 1983 the discharge authority directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. On 15 March 1983 you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge given your record of two NJP’s and two SPCM’s for offenses that included assault and drug abuse. Further, you were counseled and warned of the consequences of further misconduct and you waived the right to an ADB, your best chance for retention or a better characterization of service. 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
