DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TAL
Docket No: 3724-09
12 February 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
applicatiom on 27 January 2010. 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 Marine Corps on 10 May 1975 at age 28. Your
record reflects that at the time of your enlistment you had
completed 13 years of formal education and had an Armed Forces
Qualification Test (AFQT) score of 52 which placed you in Mental
Group III. However, your record contains an aptitude board
report dated 7 July 1975 which states, in part, that you were the
cause of multiple problems and blamed your wrongdoings on your
inability to properly comprehend and/or speak the English
language. The record also reflects that you were unsuitable for
continued service and recommended for an administrative
separation. Subsequently, you were processed for an
administrative separation by reason of unsuitability due to
apathy as evidenced by your inability to adjust to military life.
Your record reflects that on 2 July 1975 you acknowledged that
you were being processed for separation by reason of inaptitude
as evidenced by your inability to learn. The discharge authority
directed separation by reason of unsuitability and on 10 July
1975, while serving in paygrade E-1, you were honorably
discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and assertion that you were never advised as to why
you were discharged. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant a change of your narrative
reason for separation because of your inability to adjust to
military life and very short period of service. Finally, there
is documented evidence in the record that is contrary to your
assertion that you were unaware of why you were discharged from
the Marine Corps. 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,
\p'
W. DEAN PF
