DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 SIN
Docket No: 03318-08
27 February 2009
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 24 February 2009. 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
14 August 1995 at age 18. On 8 May 1996, you were convicted by
summary court-martial (SCM) of a brief period of unauthorized
absence (UA), disrespect, making a false official statement, and
feigning a mental illness to avoid duty. You were sentenced to
confinement, a forfeiture of pay, and a reduction in paygrade.
On 4 June 1996, administrative discharge action was initiated by
reason of misconduct due to commission of a serious offense. You
waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a statement or have
your case heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). on
5 June 1996, your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation
that you be discharged under other than honorable conditions by
reason of misconduct. He stated, in part, that you were an
administrative and disciplinary burden to the command. On
22 July 1996 the separation authority directed an cther than
honorable discharge by reason of misconduct. On 24 July 1996 you
were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant removing the period
of UA that occurred on 4 May 1996 from your official record
because of the SCM you received on 8 May 1996. 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,
\ enh
