DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 REC
Docket No: 10532-09
8 July 2010
Dear ia
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 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
6 February 1968, at age 19. On 9 June 1969, you admitted in
writing to a Naval Investigative Service agent that you had
purchased and used methedrine, marijuana, and hashish on numerous
occasions, while aboard ship. Administrative separation action
was initiated by reason of unfitness due to your misconduct.
Your case was heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB) ,
which voted three to zero in favor of an under other than
honorable discharge. Your commanding officer concurred with the
ADB's recommendation, and forwarded his recommendation that you
be discharged under other than honorable conditions by reason of
unfitness. On 6 August 1969, you were SO discharged. At that
time you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, conduct,
and overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found
that these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing the
reenlistment code or characterization of your discharge, given
your drug abuse. In this regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is
required when an individual is discharged prior to the ex iration
of his term of active obligated service for misconduct and is not
recommended for retention. 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
resumption of regularity attaches to all official re
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an offi
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate 't
existence of probable material error or injustice.
