BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TAL
Docket No: 3608-09
5 February 2010
This is 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 21 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 and began a period of active duty on
13 July 1987 at age 22. On 27 July 1987, your accession
urinalysis tested positive for a controlled substance. At that
time you were counseled and warned that further misconduct could
result in administrative discharge action. On 23 November 1988,
you received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for the wrongful use of
a controlled substance, cocaine. On -2 December 1988,
administrative discharge action was initiated to separate you by
reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. You waived your rights
to consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by
an administrative discharge board (ADB). 13 December 1988, your
commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be
discharged under other than honorable (OTH) conditions. On 4
January 1989, you received NUP for five instances of UA from
restriction muster, two instances of failure to obey a lawful
order and drunk and disorderly conduct. On 11 February 1989, the.
Separation authority directed an OTH discharge by reason of
Misconduct due to drug abuse. On 17 March 1989 you were so
discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct.
Finally, the Board found that you waived the 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.
Sincerely,
Don QI
