Docket No: 06715-09
15 March 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
application on 3 March 2010. Your allegations of error and

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.

REter cAfeful 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 August 1986, and served without
disciplinary incident until 5 December 1991, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for the illegal use of a controlled
substance (cocaine). Therefore, you were recommended for
separation with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge due to
drug abuse. You waived all of your procedural rights, to include
your right to an administrative discharge board (ADB). The
separation authority approved the recommendation and on 14
January 1992, you were separated with an OTH discharge and an
RE-4 reenlistment. code.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
due to your drug abuse. Furthermore, the Board found you waived
your 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,
