DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SIN
Docket No: 08635-095
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 8 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
25 November 1981, The Board found that you received nonjudicial
punishments (NJP) for disobedience, assault, drunk and disorderly
conduct, and incapacitation for the proper performance of your
duties. Further, you were counseled on two occasions regarding
not meeting weight/body fat requirements, placed on a controlled
weight /body fat reduction program, and warned that if you failed
to comply with the proper dietary regimen of the program,
administrative discharge action could be initiated.
Unfortunately, you failed to meet the expected weight loss and
administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of
convenience of the government due to obesity as evidenced by your
failure to meet controlled weight/body fat reduction. You did
not object to the administrative processing and subsequently
received a general discharge on 11 March 1987.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors
were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your
discharge given your NUP for very serious offenses and failure to
adhere to your command’s weight/body fat reduction program.
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.
Sincerely,
