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

 

SIN
Docket No: 00225-09
18 October 2010

This ig 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 13 October 2010. 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 29 July 1992. The Board found that you received two
nonjudicial punishments (NJP's) for wrongful use of
methamphetamine and marijuana. Subsequently, administrative
discharge action was initiated by reason of misconduct due to
drug use. You waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a
statement or have your case heard by an administrative discharge
board (ADB). Your case was forwarded recommending that you be
discharged under other than honorable conditions by reason of
misconduct due to drug use. The discharge authority concurred
and directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of
misconduct due to drug use. On 15 June 1994, you were so
discharged.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your two NUP’s for drug use. Finally, the Board noted that
you waived the right to an ADB, your best chance for retention or
a better characterization of service. 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.
fn this regard, it’is important to keep in mind that a
presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
tonsequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
gxistence of probable material error or injustice.

Sincerely,

bo.

W. DEAN P
Executive Di
