DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

CRS
Docket No: 414-08

11 September 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 10 September 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 Marine Corps Reserve on
10 November 1983. Under the terms of your enlistment contract,
you were required to participate in 48 drills and perform 14 days
of active duty for training (ACDUTRA) each year. You reported
for initial ACDUTRA on 7 May 1984. On 6 October 1984 you were
released from active duty and assigned to a Marine Corps Reserve

unit.

On 19 February 1986 your commanding officer recommended that you
be separated with a discharge under other than honorable
conditions by reason of unsatisfactory participation due to your
failure to attend regularly scheduled drills. He stated that you
informed the command that you were quitting. After review by the
discharge authority, the recommendation for separation wag
approved and on 6 May 1986 you received a discharge under other

than honorable conditions.

In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and alleged
back pain that prevented you from attending drills. The Board
concluded that those factors were insufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge, given your failure to
attend scheduled drills over an extended period of time.
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,

\Seus

W. DEAN PFE
Executive Di cer
