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

 

SIN
Docket No: 09753-07
21 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 19 November 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 31 January 1984 after five years of
honorable service. On 23 May and 7 September 1985, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for 24 days of unauthorized absence
(UA), missing movement, and drunk and disorderly conduct. You
were counseled and warned that further misconduct could result in
administrative discharge action. On 21 and 30 September 1985,
you received NJP for two instances of disobedience, two brief
periods of UA, and breaking restriction.

On 26 September 1985, you were notified of pending administrative
Separation action by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of
misconduct. You waived your right to consult with counsel,
submit a statement or have your case heard by an administrative
discharge board (ADB).
On 31 October 1985, your commanding officer forwarded his
recommendation that you be discharged under other than honorable
conditions by reason of misconduct. On 9 November 1985 the
discharge authority directed an other than honorable discharge by
reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. On

26 November 1985 you were so discharged.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, prior
honorable service, overall record of your last period of service,
and your accomplishment of nine years of sobriety. Nevertheless,
the Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge given your record of four
NJUP’s, two of which were imposed after you were counseled and
warned of the consequences of further misconduct. Further, you
waived the right to an ADB, your best chance for retention or a
better characterization of service. 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,
