4 November: 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 4 November 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 25 June 1984, and served without
disciplinary incident until 17 May 1987, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for failure to obey a lawful order.
Shortly thereafter, you received the following NUJP’s: on 19 May
1987, for an unauthorized absence; on 4 September 1987, for
assault and battery; and on 8 October 1987, for failure to obey a
lawful order by drinking alcohol while on restriction. On 14
October 1987, you were recommended for separation with a general
discharge by reason of misconduct. However, on 29 October 1987,
the separation authority approved the separation with an other
than honorable (OTH) discharge. You waived all of your .
procedural rights, including your right to present your case to
an administrative discharge board (ADB). Therefore, on 12
November 1987, 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
of your misconduct. The Board found you waived your right to an
ADB, your best opportunity 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.
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.. ms
