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

 

_CRS
Docket No: 3653-08
21 August 2009

 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to che 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 August 2009. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
reguiations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of
your application, together with ail 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 probabie material
error or injustice.

The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 24 July 1989.
On 8 December 2005 you received nonjudicial punishment (NIP) for
fraternization. The punishment imposed consisted of forfeiture
of $1666.00 per month for two months and restriction and extra
duty for 45 days. A fitness report for the period of 4 October
to 8 December 2005 contains a reference to the NUP, and is
adverse. On 5 April 2006 an administrative discharge board (ADB)
convened to determine whether or not you had committed
misconduct, and if so, to recommend retention or discharge. The
ADB found that you had not committed misconduct, and recommended
that you be retained in the Navy. Your commanding officer did
not contest the findings or recommendation of the ADS; however,
he denied your request that he set-aside the related NUP. You
received an adverse fitness report for the period 9 December 2005
to 15 September 2006. The report indicates that you had failed
the spring 2006 physical fitness assessment. ,

The Board did not accept your contention to the effect that no
misconduct or violations ever occurred. The Board presumed that
your commanding officer acted reasonably in your case when he
determined that you had committed that offense, and concluded
rhat he was in the best position to resolve the factual issues
and to impose appropriate punishment. The finding by the ADB
that you did not commit misconduct, which is not binding on the
Board, was considered insufficient to warrant the expunction of
the NUP and related documents from your record.

Concerning your request for removal of the two above fitness
reports, the Board found that you did not make any contentions of
error or injustice in connection with either report and no
material errors are apparent in either. As you have not
demonstrated that the reports are erroneous or unjust, there is
no basis for removing them from your record. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members
o£ 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

W. DEAN PFRIFF
Executive Dire
