DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 5248-08
27 June 2008
Dear SAaaenpemiosss
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 25 June 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 Navy on 8 June 1967.
You were absent without authority from 8 September 1969 to 7
August 1975, when you received an undesirable discharge in
absentia by reason of a prolonged absence without authority.
The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors
present in your case, such as your youth at the time in question,
good post service conduct, and the contention that you had to
return to Canada in order to claim your citizenship at age of 21.
The Board concluded that those factors were insufficient to
warrant the upgrade of your discharge, given your lengthy period
of unauthorized absence and very limited period of creditable
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,
WW.
W. DEAN PFE
Executive Dir
