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

 

SJN
Docket No: 08414-08

29 September 2008

 

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 23 September 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

You reenlisted in the Marine Corps on 30 April 1986 after three
years of honorable service. You served over four years without
incident until 12 February 1991, when you were convicted by
special court-martial (SPCM) of larceny of government property.
You were sentenced to a reduction in paygrade and a written
reprimand.

On 21 May 1991, you were informed by your commanding officer that
you were not recommended for retention due to your SPCM
conviction. On 22 May 1991, you were honorably discharged from
active duty at the expiration of your enlistment. At that time
you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your prior honorable
service, two Good Conduct Medals, your last period of honorable
service, and the reason you were not permitted to reenlist.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant a change in the reenlistment code. In this
regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is required when an Marine is
separated at the expiration of active obligated service and is
not recommended for retention. 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,
