DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD WASHINGTON DC 2O37O~5100




 SJN
 Docket No: 06675-07
2 June 2008








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- memb er panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 28 May 2008. 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 Marine Corps on 24 November 1987 at age 19. During the period from 8 June to 13 December 1989 you received four nonjudicial punishments (NJP’s) for disrespectful language, two instances of disobedience, a brief period of unauthorized absence (UA), communicating a threat, dereliction of duty, and breaking restriction. Additionally, you were counseled and warned that further misconduct could result in administrative discharge action.
On 6 February 1990, 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). Your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. On 21 February 1990, the discharge authority directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. On 1 March 1990 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 four NJP’s, three of which were imposed after you were counseled and warned of the consequences of further misconduct. Further, 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
