DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS |
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 11122-0608
22 December 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 16 December 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 enlisted in the Marine Corps on 15
November 1972. On 17 April 1973 you received nonjudicial
punishment for an unauthorized absence of nine days.
On 11 November 1976 you submitted a written request for discharge
for the good of the service in lieu of trial by court-martial for
an unauthorized absence of 1161 days. Prior to submitting this
request you conferred with a qualified military lawyer who
advised you of your rights and warned of the probable adverse
consequences of receiving an undesirable discharge. Your request
was approved by the discharge authority, and you received an
undesirable discharge on 2 December 1978.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and family
problems. The Board found those factors insufficient to warrant
corrective action in your case, given the lengthy period of your
unauthorized absence.
In addition, the Board believes that considerable cleméncy was
extended to you when your request for discharge was approved
since, by that action, you avoided the possibility of a Federal
conviction, confinement at hard labor and a punitive discharge.
Further, the Board concluded that you received the benefit of
your bargain when your request for discharge was granted, and you
should not be permitted to change it now. 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,
Ww Qa
