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

SIN
Docket No: 07727-07

26 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-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 24 June 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 27 November 1951 at age 20.
You served without incident until 22 May 1953 when you received

nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful appropriation of
rations. On 5 November 1953, you were released under honorable

conditions from active duty and transferred to the Marine Corps
Reserve.

Characterization of service is based in part on conduct and
proficiency averages computed from marks assigned on a periodic
basis. Your conduct average was 3.9. At the time of your
service, a conduct average of 4.0 was required for a fully

honorable characterization of service.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, overall
record of service, and letter from the Delaware County (Ohio)
Veterans Service Office. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant upgrading your
Characterization of release from active duty given the NJP and
your failure to attain the required average in conduct.
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 PF

Executive Di
