WASHINGTON DC 20376-5100
REC
Docket No: 08202-0939
27? 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 26 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 15 April 1982. On 28 September
1984, you received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for the-illegal
use of marijuana. On 22 October 1984, you were recommended for
_ level III drug treatment, but you refused. On 1 November 1984,
administrative separation action was initiated by reason of
Misconduct for drug abuse. 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 conditions by reason of misconduct. On 7 November
1984, the discharge authority directed an other than honorable
discharge by reason of misconduct for drug abuse. On 9 November
1984, you were so discharged. At that time you were assigned an
appropriate RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your overall record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors
were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your
discharge, given your record of one NJP for drug abuse. The
Board noted that you waived your rights to an ADB, your best
opportunity for retention or a more favorable characterization of
service, Accordingly, your application has been denied. The
names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished
upon request.
The Board noted that you may be eligible for benefits with the
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) based on your first period
of honorable service. You may wish to contact your local office
of the DVA for a determination.
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
