Docket No: 8829-09

4 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 > June 2010. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative

regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings ef 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 Reserve on 20 January 1982 after more
than eleven months of prior honorable service. on 30 August
1984, you received nonjudicial punishment (NOP) for wrongful use
of marijuana. On 27 November 1984, you received NUP for wrongful
use of a controlled substance. You were notified of pending
administrative discharge processing with an other than honorable
(OTH) discharge due to misconduct (drug abuse) . You waived all
of your procedural rights, including your right to an
administrative discharge board (ADB). On 14 December 1984, you
received the OTH discharge for misconduct (drug abuse).

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct .
Finally, the Board found that you waived the right to an ADB,

your best opportunity for retention or a better 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 believes that you may be eligible for veterans’
benefits which accrued during your prior period of honorable
service. However, your eligibility is a matter under the
cognizance of the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA). In this
regard, you should contact the nearest DVA office concerning your
rights, specifically, whether or not you are eligible for
benefits based on this period of service.

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,

D Qeey P

Executive Diredttr
