BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON BDC 20370-5106

TUR
Docket No: 1665-09
18 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 17 November 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. 4

. You enlisted in the Marine Corps on 3 April 1975 at age 17 and

began a period of active duty on 7 August 1975. A month later,
on 4 September 1975, you were referred for a psychiatric
evaluation after experiencing breakdowns due to high stress and
occasionally contemplating suicide. You were subsequently
recommended for an administrative separation.

On 8 September and again on 17 October 1975, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for two periods of absence from your
appointed place of duty and failure to obey a lawful order.
Shortly thereafter, on 29 October 1975, you were processed for an
administrative separation by reason of convenience of: the
government due to unsuitability as evidenced by your substandard
performance and defective attitude. The discharge authority
directed separation under honorable conditions by reason of
unsuitability and on 4’ November 1975, while serving in paygrade
E-1, 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, post service conduct, and desire to upgrade your
discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of your substandard performance, defective attitude, 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,

ea

Executive Di
