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

 

REC
Docket No: 08426-09
10 June 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 9 June 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

20 June 1983, at age 18. On 12 December 1983, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for concealing an offense and
impersonating anther Sailor. On 9 July 1984, you were convicted
at a summary court-martial (SCM) for being in an unauthorized
absence (UA) status, and the wrongful use of marijuana and
cocaine. You were sentenced to forfeitures of $397, reduction in
pay grade, and confinement at hard labor for one month. On

24 April 1986, you received NUP for being absent from your
appointed place of duty. On 26 June 1986, you received NIP for
being in a UA status for a period of 21 days.

On 18 July 1986, administrative separation action was initiated
by reason of misconduct due to frequent involvement of a
discreditable nature. 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. The discharge authority
directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of
misconduct. On 25 August 1986, you were so discharged. At that
time you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, conduct,
and overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found
that these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing the
reenlistment code or characterization of your discharge, given
your record of three NUP’s and conviction by one SCM. In this
regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is required when an individual
is discharged prior’ to the expiration of his term of active
obligated service for misconduct and is not recommended for
retention. 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.
