BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BAN
Docket No: 12237-09
5 November 2009
This is in reference to your application for correction of your.
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 4 November 2009. 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 on 29 January 1964, and served
without disciplinary incident until 27 December 1965, when you ~
received now jueltiees punishment for failure to obey a. lawful
order.
Shortly thereafter, you were convicted at three special courts-.
martial (SPCM) on 8 June 1967, for an unauthorized absence (UA)
in excess of four months; on 12 April 1968, for UA in excess of
six months; and on 14 January 1969, for UA in excess of four and
one-half months, and received a bad conduct discharge (BCD).
After appellate review, on 16 May 1969, you were separated from
the naval service with a BCD and an RE-4 reenlistment code due to
your conviction at your final SPCM.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and belief that enough time has elapsed to warrant
upgrading your discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge because of the seriousness of your misconduct.
Finally, there is no provision in the law or regulations that
allows for recharacterization of service due solely to the
passage of time. 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 2
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, (
