BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SUN
Docket No: 00148-10
13 October 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 5 October 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
28 July 1982. The Board found that you received five nonjudicial
punishments (NJP’s) for possession of marijuana, three instances
of disobedience, communicating a threat, failure to go to your
appointed place of duty, unauthorized absence, and use of a
controlled substance. Subsequently, administrative discharge
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 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 abuse.
On 1 February 1983, 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 five NUJP’s, two of which involved drugs. 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 otherm matter not previously considered by the Board.
“Ha«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,
Ly Dad
