DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

 

SIN
Docket No: 10384-09
29 July 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 27 July 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

13 April 1987. The Board found that you received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) for use of marijuana. Subsequently,
administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of
misconduct due to drug abuse. You elected to consult counsel and
have your case heard before an administrative discharge board
(ADB). On i July 1991, the ADB unanimously recommended
separation with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge by reason
of misconduct due to drug abuse. On 12 July 1991, your
commanding officer concurred with the ADB‘s findings and
forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged. On

14 August 1991, the discharge authority concurred and directed an
OTH discharge by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. On

29 August 1991 you were so discharged.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, record of
service, and postservice accomplishments. Nevertheless, the
Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge given your NUP for drug use.
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,

  
  

W. DEAN P
Executive.
