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

 

CRS
Docket No: 8254-08
15 January 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.29 October 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. In addition, the Board considered the advisory
opinion furnished by the Commandant of Marine Corps dated 10
October 2008, a copy of which is attached.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, and notwithstanding the advisory opinion from the
Commandant of the Marine Corps, the Board found that the evidence
Submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable
Material error or injustice.

The Board found no merit in your contention that the nonjudicial
punishment (NUJP) you received on 15 February 2005 lacks
signatures and is incomplete. Although one section of your
official military personnel file (OMPF) contains an incomplete
record of NUP, a different section contains a properly completed
record of the NUP, to include appropriate signatures. It is clear
that neither you nor the author of the advisory opinion reviewed
your entire OMPF.

The Board concluded that your commanding officer acted reasonably
in your case, and that he was in the best position to resolve the
factual issues and to impose appropriate punishment. There is no
credible evidence that you did not commit the charged 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,

lw Won

W. DEAN PFEIFFHR
Executive Direcko
