DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

Docket No: 11656-09
12 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 il 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 Navy on 31 March 1980, at the age of 17. On
13 May 1983, you were convicted by a summary court-martial (SCM)
of wrongful appropriation and disposition of an M-16 rifle. You
were sentenced to forfeitures of $750, 14 days confinement at
hard labor and 24 days restriction. On 1 February 1985, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for wrongful use of
Marijuana. On 9 February 1985, administrative separation 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
commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be
discharged under other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason
of misconduct. The discharge authority approved your OTH
discharge. However, your misconduct continued and on 24 December
1985, you were convicted by a special court-martial (SPCM) of
seven instances of being in an unauthorized absence (UA) status.
You were sentenced to forfeitures of $700, reduction in pay grade
and a bad conduct discharge (BCD). The discharge authority
directed the execution of your BCD. On 7 October 1986, after
appellate review, you were so 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 found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given your record of one NUP and convictions by
a SCM and SPCM. Accordingly, your application has been denied.
The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished

upon request.
v5 is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
deverable~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,

ls Pens

W. DEAN PFE
Executive Direc
