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

 

SIN
Docket No: 10983-09
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

4 February 1992. The Board found that you received nonjudicial
punishment (NUP) for wrongful use of marijuana. You received a
reduction in paygrade, a forfeiture of pay, restriction, and
extra duty. Subsequently, administrative discharge action was
initiated by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. 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 recommending that you be discharged under other
than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct. The
discharge authority concurred and directed an OTH discharge by
reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. On 25 October 1995, you
were so discharged.

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

Executive
