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

Docket No: 9623-07
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 17 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

You enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve on 27 July 1987 at age
22. On 16 February 1988 you reported for an initial period of
active duty for training and were released from that training on
13 May 1988. In accordance with regulations, you were issued a
DD Form 214 at that time showing that you had completed 2 months
and 25 days of active service. In the next four anniversary
years, you were credited with 87, 33, 28 and 14 days of active
duty for training. However, no DD Form 214's were issued because
the regulations required at least 90 days of continuous active
duty (except for the initial period) before a DD Form 214 must be
issued. Subsequently, you requested discharge because you had
been ordained in the ministry and had accepted an overseas
missionary assignment. Your request was approved and you were
honorably discharged on 13 September 1991.

In your application you are requesting a new DD Form 214 to
document all of your service including active duty for training
periods and drill weekends so that can have at least 181 days of
service showing on a DD Form 214. As indicated, the DD Form 214
issued on 13 May 1988 is correct and there was no subsequent
occasion for the issuance of another DD Form 214. However, even
if one had been issued after your last period of active duty for
training, you would only have 162 days of active service. Your
time as a drilling reservist would have only been entered in the
other service block of the DD Form 214. The Board concluded that
there is no basis for the issuance of a new DD Form 214 in your
case and you have been treated no differently than others in your
Situation. The Board concluded that your service was properly
computed and a change in your record is not warranted.

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,

\p'
