BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

TAL
Docket No: 5968-09
30 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 28 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 and began a period of active duty on

24 February 1986 at age 19. During your enlistment you received
nonjudicial punishment on four occasions and were convicted by
special court-martial for Gisobeying a lawful order, assault and
unauthorized absence from your unit for periods of time totaling
33 days. Administrative discharge action was initiated by reason
of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. You waived your
rights to consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case
heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). Your
commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be
discharged under other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason
of misconduct. The separation authority directed an OTH
discharge by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct.
On 20 July 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 found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct.
Additionally, the Board noted 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,
