This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10, 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 Marine Corps on 11 October 1956, at age 17.
On 27 January 1958, you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for
a being in an unauthorized absence (UA) status. On 14 February
1958, you received NUP for a second period of UA. On 6 March
1958, you received NUP for failing to go to your appointed place
of duty. On 23 June 1958, you were convicted by the Beaufort,
South Carolina civilian criminal court for auto theft. You were

sentenced to confinement in the state penitentiary for three
years.

On 6 August 1958, the commanding officer recommended that you
receive an other than honorable (OTH) discharge by reason of
misconduct. Subsequently, your case was forwarded, and the
discharge authority approved the recommendation for an OTH
discharge. You were so discharged on 20 August 1958.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and immaturity. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge because of your misconduct that resulted in
three NUP’s, a civilian criminal conviction and confinement.
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
