Docket No: 11272-09
26 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 25 August 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 and began a period of active
duty on 12 August 1991 at age 19. On 5 July 1994, you were the
subject of a medical evaluation that recommended Level Jil
treatment for alcohol dependency. On 6 July 1994, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful use of marijuana.
You were notified of pending administrative discharge processing
with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge due to misconduct
(drug abuse). You waived all of your procedural rights,
including your right to an administrative discharge board (ADB).
On 1 September 1994, the separation authority directed an OTH
discharge by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. On
30 September 1995 you were 60 discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board conciuded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct.
Finally, the Board found that you waived the right to an ADB,
your best opportunity 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,
anes )
