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

 

REC
Docket No: 10838-09

23 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 21 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 on 8 June 1992, at age 19. On 13 May
1994, you received nonjudicial punishment (NIP) for wrongful use
of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). On 16 May 1994,
administrative separation action was initiated by reason of
misconduct for drug abuse. You waived your rights to consult
counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by an
administrative discharge board (ADB). Your commanding officer
forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other
than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. The discharge
authority directed an other than honorable discharge by reason of
misconduct for drug abuse. On 22 June 1994, you were 50
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, and overall record of
service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge,
given your record of one NIP for drug abuse. The Board noted
that you waived your right to an ADB, your best opportunity for
retention or a more favorable characterization of service.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

It igs 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,

\Sas

Executive Biréctor
