WASHINGTON DC 20370-51700 .
TIR
Docket No: 8541-09
26 August 2009
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 25 August 2009. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Your
allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance
with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to che
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 Naval Reserve on 10 February 2000 at age 18,
began a period of active duty on 24 February 2000, and served
without disciplinary incident. On 5 February 2003 you were
honorably released from active duty and transferred to the Naval
Reserve for inactive duty training (IDT).
It appears that in June 2004 you were processed for an
administrative separation due to unsatisfactory participation as
a result of your failure to respond to a previously mailed
discharge notification. The discharge authority directed your
discharge by reason of the convenience of the government. due to
your inability to maintain satisfactory drill attendance. As a
result of this action, you acknowledged an administrative remarks
entry in your record which states that you were not recommended
For reenlistment without proper prior approval. On 14 July 2004
you were issued a general discharge by reason of convenience of
the government due to unsatisfactory performance in the Naval
Ready Reserve.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, honorable service, and assertion that you were
unaware of your nonrecommendation for reenlistment.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant a change of your reenlistment status,
specifically, your nonrecommendation for reenlistment due to your
failure to satisfactorily attend scheduled drills. In the
absence of any evidence that your nonrecommendation for
reenlistment was in error, the Board assumed that sufficient
evidence existed to support the discharge authority's decision.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.
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,
\wed
