Docket No: 10970-09
3 August 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 28 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

22 February 1983. The Board found that you were counseled and
warned on several occasions about wrongful drug use. Despite the
warnings, administrative discharge action was initiated by reason
of misconduct due to drug abuse as evidenced by five positive

command assist urinalyses. You waived your rights to consult
counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by an
administrative discharge board (ADB). Your case was forwarded

and the separation authority directed that you receive a
discharge warranted by your service record due to misconduct.
You were honorably discharged on 1 August 1984.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant changing the reason for your discharge
given your repeated drug use, and the fact that you were warned
on more than one occasion of the consequences of further drug
involvement. Finally, the Board noted that you waived the right
to an ADB, your best chance for retention or a better
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 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,

Lem
