BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
TRG

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 |
Docket No: 8043-08
11 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 9 dune 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 ali 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.

Your record shows that you were released from active duty in the
Navy on 6 August 1993 with more than five years of service and an
honorable characterization of service. The next entry in the
record shows that you enlisted in the Navy Reserve on 15 March
2006 for three years.

You state in your application that you were excused from
attending drills beginning on 27 August 2007 because you were
selected to be a member of the Border Patrol and were attending
classes at a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Apparently
in December 2007 you resigned from the Border Patrol.

On 10 January 2008 a notification of separation processing by
reason of unsatisfactory participation was sent to you by
registered mail. It appears that on 11 January 2008 you signed
this notification and declined to make a statement. After
review, a general discharge by reason of unsatisfactory
participation was Girected and you were so separated on 1
February 2008. A nonrecommendation for reenlistment is required
when an individual is discharged due to unsatisfactory
participation.
You contend in your application that you notified your reserve
unit of your acceptance into the Border Patrol and were
improperly charged with missed drills Miike attending the
training.

A statement of service for reserve retirement was obtained and it
shows that in the almost 11 month period from the beginning of
your anniversary year on 15 March 2007 until your discharge on 1
February 2008 you were only credited with 16 of 44 scheduled
drills. Since you. were only undergoing training for about three
months, there appears to be other instances of missed drills.
Further, when you were given the opportunity to contest your
discharge processing, you waived your rights and accepted it.
This action certainly suggests that there was a basis for the
separation processing. Therefore, the Board concluded that the
discharge was proper as issued and no change is warranted.

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,
