' Docket No: 439-09
23 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 21 July 2009. The names and votes of the.
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 31 July 1951 at age 21. The record
reflects that at the time of your enlistment you had completed
seven years of formal education.
Your record contains an aptitude board report dated 1 November
1951 which states, in part, that because of your poor school and
work histories, low level performance, and passive resentment of
authority, you failed to adjust to military life, and were
recommended for an administrative separation.
Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation -
by reason of unsuitability due to inadaptability. The discharge.
authority directed separation under honorable conditions by
reason of unsuitability and on 8 November 1951, while serving as
a seaman recruit, you were issued a general discharge.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and limited education. It also considered your desire
to upgrade your discharge because you feel that you served
honorably. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of your inability to adjust to military life and your
very short period of service. Accordingly, your application has
been denied.
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,
a
