DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX SIN

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 Docket No: 07197-08
16 June 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 10 June 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 23 June 2006 after four years of
honorable service. On 18 December 2007 and 16 April 2008, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful use of a
controlled substance and disobedience (viewing pornographic
material on a government computer). You were notified of pending
administrative separation action by reason of misconduct due to
commission of a serious offense. You elected to consult with
legal counsel and subsequently requested an administrative
discharge board (ADB).

On 20 August 2008, an ADB unanimously found that you had
committed misconduct due to commission of a serious offense, and
recommended discharge under other than honorable conditions.

Your commanding officer concurred with the ADB’s findings and
recommendations and forwarded your case to the separation
authority for review. On 23 September 2008, the separation
authority directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of
misconduct. On 8 October 2008 you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, prior
honorable service, and overall record of your last period of
service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were
not sufficient to warrant removal of any NUP from your official
military records given the serious nature of the offenses.
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,
\pWos.
W. DEAN P R

Executive rector
