DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
REC
Docket No: 12131-0609
30 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on
18 June 1989, at age 19. Between 12 January and 26 October 1990,
you received four nonjudicial punishments (NUJP’s). You committed
the following offenses: two instances of failure to obey a
lawful order, being in an unauthorized absence (UA) status,
breaking restriction, being drunk on watch, disorderly conduct,
being disrespectful toward a superior commissioned officer and
communicating a threat. On 8 June 1990, you were arrested by
Civilian authorities for underage drinking, drinking in public
and indecent exposure.
On 28 October 1990, administrative separation action was
initiated by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct.
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. On 9 November 1990,
you were so 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, such as your youth, conduct,
and overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found
that these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing the
characterization of your discharge, given your record of four
NJP’s for misconduct. In this regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code
is required when an individual is discharged prior to the
expiration of his term of active obligated service for misconduct
and is not recommended for retention. The Board also noted 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,
Wane
W. DEAN PFENF
