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

 

REC
Docket No: 00473-10
12 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 on 21 October 1999, at age 19. On

11 April 2001, you and your spouse submitted a request for her to
be discharged, based on the fact that you could not comply with
the planned parenthood program. Apparently, your spouse was
discharged and you continued with your career in the Navy.
However, on 13 January 2003, you were discharged with an other
than honorable discharge and received a reenlistment code of RE-4
to escape trial by court-martial. Your record only reflects your
service up to 2001. It is presumed that your record is correct
and as a result of your request for discharge, you were spared
the stigma of a court-martial conviction and the potential
penalties of a punitive discharge and confinement at hard labor.

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 concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge and your reenlistment code. The Board believed
that considerable clemency was extended to you when your request
for discharge was approved. The Board also concluded that you
received the benefit of your bargain with the Navy when your
request for discharge was granted and should not be permitted to
change it now. Further, you are advised that there is no
provision in the law or Navy regulations that allows for
recharacterization of your discharge automatically 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.

is,xegretted phat the “circumstances of your case are such that
Pavorabte actiérf¥@annot 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,

Voce!
