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

 

SIN
Docket No: 07827-0939
28 May 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 21 May 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 18 June 1980. The Board noted that you received three
nonjudicial punishments (NJP’s) for being an accessory after the
fact by failing to report that another Marine had marijuana in
his possession to prevent punishment, disobedience, and a brief
period of unauthorized absence (UA). Additionally, you were the
subject of a random urinalysis with positive results for
amphetamine/methamphetamine. Subsequentiy, administrative
discharge action was initiated by reason of misconduct due to
drug abuse. You waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a
Statement or have your case heard by an administrative discharge
board (ADB}. Your case was forwarded recommending that you be
discharged under other than honorable conditions by reason of
Misconduct. The discharge authority directed an other than
honorable discharge by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse.
On 15 February 1983, you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your three NJP’s. Further, the Board noted that you waived
the right to an ADB, your best chance 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.
