BAN
Docket No: 3531-09
27 January 2010 -
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 2] January 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 Navy on 13 March 1962, and served without
disciplinary incident until 30 July 1962, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for sleeping on watch. Shortly
thereafter, you received the following disciplinary actions: on 7
January 1963, you received NUP for unauthorized absence (UA); on
5 September 1964, you received NUP for failure to obey a lawful
order; on 16 December 1964, you were convicted at a special
court-martial (SPCM) for UA in excess of 40 days; on 6 July 1965,
you were convicted at a SPCM for UA in excess of 59 days. Your
sentence included a bad conduct discharge (BCD). On 3 November
1965, you received NUP for UA in excess of 8 days. After
appellate review, on 13 January 1966, you were separated from the
naval service with a BCD 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 belief that enough time has elapsed to warrant
upgrading your discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge because of the seriousness of your misconduct.
Finally, there is no provision of law or in Navy regulations that
allow for recharacterization of service due solely to the passage
of time. Accordingiy, 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.
