This is in reference to your application for correction of your
cord pursuant to the provisions of title LO Of the

EL

al re
United States Code, section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Ss sitting in executive session, considered your
on on 11 May 2010. Your allegations of error and
were reviewed in accordance with administrative
e jons and procedures applicable to the proceedings of
this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board
consisted of your oan together with all materi
su
c

Q >

x
bmitted in support thereof, your naval record and ap
atutes, regulations and policies

after careful and conscient ious consideration of the ae

record, the Board found that the evidence submitted w

insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
‘

error or injustice. The Board cound that you reenlisted in the
Navy on 23 November 1988. You received a civil conviction for
malicious mischief and assault. You received nonjudicial

punishment on four occasions for six specifications of
unauthorized absence total ing more than four days and four

specifications of failure to obey lawful orders. ian your
Civil conviction, you were counseled four times regarding
misconduct and warned that future offenses could result in
administrative separation action. On 14

May 1990, you refused
alcohol abuse rehabilitation. You were notified that your
commanding officer was recommending you for administrative
separation with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge for
misconduct - commission of a serious offense and alcohol
rehabilitation failure. You elected to have your case heard by
an administrative discharge board (ADB). On 12 September 1990,
the ADB met and unanimously found that you committed a serious
offense, failed alcohol rehabilitation, and recommended that
you be separated with a general discharge. On 13 November
1990, you received a general discharge for misconduct —-
commission of a serious offense, and were assigned an RE-4
reenlistment code.

 

In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, and
prior honorable service. However, the Board concluded that
your general discharge should not be changed due to your
misconduct. You are advised that no discharge is automatically
upgraded due merely to the passage of time. The Board found
that you were fortunate to have received a general discharge,
since most individuals separated for misconduct receive other
than honorable discharges. In view of the above, 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 oLipeval
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,

Ret

ROBERT D. SALMAN
Acting Executive Director
