WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BAN
Docket No: 00353-08
21 August 2008
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 21 August 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 Marine Corps in November 1978 and served
without disciplinary incident until July 1979, when you received
a nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for an unauthorized absence (UA).
Shortly thereafter, on 27 August 1979, you were charged and found
guilty at NUP, for UA and failure to obey a lawful order or
regulation. On 7 November 1979, you received a special court-
martial (SPCM) and were found guilty of four specifications of
UA.
In December 1979, you were pending another SPCM for UA charges
when you requested, through counsel, to be separated under other
than honorable (UOTH) conditions with an RE-4 reenlistment code,
to escape trial by court-martial. On 12 February 1979, the
separation authority approved these recommendations and directed
a discharge UOTH conditions, and on 21 March 1980, you were so
discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of the seriousness of your 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,
