DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

TAL
Docket No: 3921-09
16 April 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 14 April 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
imjustiLeé..

You reenlisted in the Navy on 8 December 1989. On 6 September
1990, you were convicted in the municipal court of the city of
St Marys, Georgia, of driving under the influence (DUI) and
driving with a suspended license. You were sentenced to 90 days
confinement or $1010.00 fine and loss of your driver’ es license
for one year. On 28 September 1990, administrative discharge
action was initiated to separate you by reason of civil
conviction. You waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a
statement or have your case heard by an administrative discharge
board (ADB). On 22 February 1971, your commanding officer
forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other
than honorable (OTH) conditions due to civil conviction. On 12
October 1990, you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for
unauthorized absence (UA) from your unit for a period of 24 days
and missing ship’s movement. On 6 November 1990, the separation
authority directed an OTH discharge by reason of eivail
conviction. On 16 November 1990, 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 found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct that
resulted in a civil conviction. Finally, members of the armed
services who are convicted by civil authorities may be
discharged. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The
names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished
upon request.

The Board noted that you may be eligible for benefits with the
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) based on your prior
honorable service. Please contact your local DVA for a
determination regarding benefits.

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,
