DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECT[ON OF NAVAL RECORDS
         2 NAVY ANNEX    
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100


                                                       CRS
                                                      Docket No: 9567-06
                                                       19 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 that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 21 September 1982. The record reflects that on 28 April 1988 you received nonjudicial punishment for use of marijuana.
On 22 June 1988 an administrative discharge board recommended that you be separated with a general discharge by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. After review by the discharge authority, the recommendation for separation was approved and you were discharged on 14 November 1988 with a general discharge by reason of misconduct. At that time, you were assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4.
Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code when an individual is discharged due to misconduct. Since you have been treated no differently than others in your situation , the Board could not find an error or injustice in the assignment of your reenlistment code. 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
