DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DG 20370-5100 SIN

Docket No: 09168-07
3 November 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 28 October 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on

7 March 2007 at age 22. On 2 April 2007, while in recruit
training, you began a period of unauthorized absence (UA) that
lasted 96 days, ending on 7 July 2007. On 12 July 2007, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for that period of UA. You
received restriction, extra duty, and a forfeiture of pay.

On 20 July 2007, your commanding officer initiated administrative
separation action. You elected not to submit a statement and
requested copies of the documents that were forwarded concerning
your separation. On 26 July 2007, your case was forwarded
directing that you be discharged with an entry level separation
due to misconduct. You were so discharged on 8 August 2007. At
that time, you were assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and short
period of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these
factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
reenlistment code given your NUP for a period of UA lasting over
three months while in recruit training. Further, an RE-4
reenlistment code must be assigned to all individuals separated
during recruit training for misconduct. 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,
