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

 

SJN
Docket No: 00064-1956
26 July 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 22 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

17 March 1986. The Board found that you received nonjudicial
punishment for aggravated assault, and were convicted by civil
authorities of driving on a suspended license and driving while
intoxicated. Additionally, it appears you had two periods of
unauthorized absence (UA) totaling 195 days and were involved
with the use of cocaine. Subsequently, administrative discharge
action was initiated by reason of misconduct due to drug use.
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 conditions by reason of misconduct.
The discharge authority concurred and directed an other than
honorable discharge by reason of misconduct due to drug use. On
23 March 1990, you were so discharged.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your NUP, civil convictions, and 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,

lub

W. DEAN PRE R
Executive Ditrector
