DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL REGORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20376-5100
BAN
Docket No: 09322-08.
29 July 2009
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 22 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 on 12 August 1986, and served without
disciplinary incident until 22 January 1987, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for falsifying a military
identification card.
Shortly thereafter, you received the following NJP’s: on 30
January 1987, and on 3 February 1987, for the illegal use of a
controlled substance (marijuana); on 19 November 1987, for the
illegal use of a controlled substance (Robaxin); and on 7
February 1988, for unlawful entry, failure to obey a lawful order
(2 specifications) and an unauthorized absence (UA). On 4
January 1990, you were recommended for an other than honorable
(OTH) discharge. On 16 January 1990, the separation authority
approved the recommendation and on 12 February 1990, you were
separated with an OTH discharge and an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and the passage of time. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge because of the seriousness
ef your misconduct. 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,
lo Da ,
