A three-member panel * the Board for Correction of Naval
After careful and cons¢ientious 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 Na on 29 May 1957 at age 17 and served for
two years and three monlths without disciplinary incident, but on
19 August 1959, you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for
disobedience and were awarded restriction and extra duty for
seven days.
November 1959 which states, in part, that in almost all of your
assigned tasks, you wer closely watched since you showed little
concern for your work and could not be trusted. It also stated
that you presented a su ly disposition and seemed to resent
authority. There is algo another administrative remarks entry
which states that you were not recommended for reenlistment due
to your low average of é¢valuation marks.
On 30 March 1961 you were released from active duty and
transferred to the Naval] Reserve under honorable conditions. On
28 May 1963, at the expilration of your enlistment, you were
issued a general dischange.
Character of service is based, in part, on conduct and overall
trait averages which are computed from marks assigned during
periodic evaluations.
Your conduct average was 2.93. An average
of 3.0 in conduct was|required at the time of your discharge for
a fully honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all|potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire|to upgrade your discharge to honorable. It
also considered your assertion of the events that occurred prior
to your release from the Navy. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge because of your misconduct, which result in
NJP, derogatory administrative remark entries, and since your
conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant a fully
honorable discharge. |Finally, there is no evidence in the
record, and you submitted none, to support your assertion.
Accordingly, your appllication has been denied.
The names and votes off the members of the panel will be furnished
upon request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
favorable action cannolt 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 regularlity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is pn the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
