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

 

CRS
Docket No: 10565-08
24 March 2009

 

This 1s 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 25 February 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 that the evidence submitted was

insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

The Board found that you entered into a pre-trial agreement on 15
December 2006 in which you agreed to accept nonjudicial
punishment provided that the convening authority withdrew and
dismissed similar charges that had been preferred against you and
referred to a special court-martial. On 4 January 2007 you
received nonjudicial punishment for wrongfully using blue lights
on the dashboard of your car in violation a Florida statute that
had been assimilated into federal law; wrongfully impersonating
and asserting the authority of a law enforcement official by
using flashing or rotating blue lights on your non-governmentally
owned vehicle to stop another motorist on a naval station; and
wrongfully impersonating and asserting the authority of a law
enforcement official by using flashing or rotating blue lights on
your non-governmentally owned vehicle to stop another motorist on
an interstate highway. The punishment consisted of a punitive
letter of reprimand and reduction in rate, which was suspended.

The Board did nok accept your unsubstantiated contention to the
effect that you agreed to accept nonjudicial punishment because
you had been led to believe that the punishment! would be set-
aside. The Board concluded that your commanding officer acted

reasonably in your case, and that he was in the best positicn to
resolve the factual issues and to impose appropriate punishment.
There is no credible evidence that you did not commit the charged
offenses. In addition, the Board noted that you received a
substantial benefit by accepting the nonjudicial punishment, as
you avoided the possibility of a conviction by court-martial,
confinement at hard labor and punitive separation from the Navy.

In view of the foregoing, your application has been denied. The
names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished
upon request.

The Board did not consider your request for removal of a “Form 83
CSF” from your record because no such document is filed in your
official military personnel file.

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,
