BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON BC 20370-51706

REC
Docket No: 05965-09
28 April 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.

BA three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 27 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
injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 25 November 1985. On 22 April 1987,
you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for sleeping on watch.
On 31 August 1987, you received NUP for failure to obey a lawful
order and being absent from your appointed place of duty. On

21 September 1987, you received NJP for being in an unauthorized
absence UA status for three days. You were notified that
administrative discharge procedures were initiated and that you
would receive a reenlistment code of RE-4 upon your separation.
The discharge authority directed a general discharge. You. were
so discharged on 25 September 1987.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. However, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant any change in your character of service,
given your record of three NJP's for misconduct. The Board also
noted that you were fortunate to receive a general discharge
since a separation under other than honorable conditions is often
directed when an individual is found to have committed
misconduct. 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,
