DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

 

SION
Docket No: 08229-08
10 July 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 8. July 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
28 December 1987 at age 22. On 7 May 1990, you received
nonjudicial punishments (NUP) for a period of unauthorized
absence and six instances of disobedience.

On 7 May 1990, you were notified of pending administrative
separation action 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 17 May 1990, the commanding officer
forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other
than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. On 23 May
1990 the separation authority directed an other than honorable
discharge by reason of misconduct. On 1 June 1990 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 found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given your NUP for serious offenses. 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,
