DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

BJG
Docket No: 9135-09 .
9 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 that the ‘evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice. The Board found that you entered active
duty in the Navy on 6 July 1973. You received eight
nonjudicial punishments (NJP's} for absence from your appointed
place of duty (three specifications), failure to obey a lawful
order (three specifications), unauthorized absence (two
specifications), and wrongful possession of marijuana and
alcoholic beverages. On 28 January 1977, you were received a
general discharge.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board concluded
that your discharge should not be changed due to your eight
NUP‘'s. The Board found that you were fortunate to have
received a general discharge, because Sailors who have
committed misconduct normally receive a characterization under
other than honorable conditions. In view of the above, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

Tt 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,
W. DEAN PF
Executive ester
