Docket No: 9285-08
16 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 ‘15 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 and medical records,
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. .The Board found that you entered active
duty in the Marine Corps on 1 June 1973. You were in an
unauthorized absence status on one occasion, but no
disciplinary action was taken. During recruit training, you
were found to be belligerent and disrespectful toward all
authority. You had no desire to be a Marine. An aptitude
board met and found that your general qualifications did not
warrant retention in the service. You were administratively
processed for a defective attitude. On 3 July 1973, you
received a general discharge and were assigned an RE-4
reenlistment code. »
The Board, in its review of your entire record, carefully
weighed all potential mitigation, such as your youth and
current drug and alcohol abuse problems. Nevertheless, the
Board concluded that these factors were not sufficient to
warrant changing your general discharge because of your
negative attitude and lack of motivation to be a Marine. In
view of the above, 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,
W. DEAN
