DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 7746-07
25 July 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 2 July 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 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 12 September
1980. You received two nonjudicial punishments for wrongful use
of marijuana. On 16 January 1986 an administrative discharge
board recommended that you be separated from the Navy 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 received a general discharge on
7 May 1986.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your belief that the
discharge was unfair and that you have had difficulty in finding
employment. The Board concluded that those factors were
insufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge or a
change in the reason for the discharge, given your involvement
with illegal drugs. 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.
Board reconsider its decision upon
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.
You are entitled to have the
submission of new and material
Sincerely,
