Enel: (1) DD Form 149 with attachments
(2) Case summary
(3) Subject's naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, a
former enlisted member of the Marine Corps, filed enclosure (1)
with this Board requesting that her general characterization of
service issued on 25 October 1991, be changed to an honorable
discharge.
2. ThegBoard, consisting of Mr. GE 2nd Mses PF and
Gag veviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice
on 21 October 2010 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined
that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by
the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies.
3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining
to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice finds as
follows:
a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.
b. Although it appears that enclosure (1) was not filed ina
timely manner, it is in the interest of justice to waive the
statute of limitations and review the application on its merits.
c. Petitioner entered active duty in the Marine Corps on 26
November 1990. During her period of service, she was identified
as a candidate for the weight control program. She received no
disciplinary action during her time on active duty and received
an average of 4.3 in proficiency and 4.3 in conduct. She was
separated on 25 October 1991 with a general discharge and an RE-
3P reenlistment code for failure to conform to weight standards.
Characterization is based in part on proficiency and conduct
marks assigned on a periodic basis. A proficiency and conduct
mark average of 3.0/4.0, respectively, is required for a fully
honorable discharge.
d. In Petitioner's application, she states that at the time
of her discharge she was unaware that the type of discharge she
received would restrict her from joining the Air Force Reserve.
She is currently trying to enlist in the Air Force Reserve and is
unable to do so with a general discharge.
CONCLUSION: %
é
¥,
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action.
The Board notes the nature of Petitioner's proficiency and
conduct mark average of 4.3/4.3 which warrants an honorable
discharge and the fact she had no disciplinary action. Based on
the foregoing, the Board concludes that no useful purpose is
served by continuing to characterize her service as a general
characterization of service and recharacterization to an
honorable discharge is appropriate.
In view of the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an
injustice warranting the following corrective action.
RECOMMENDATION :
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
she was issued an honorable discharge on 25 October 1991 vice a
general discharge on the same day.
b. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in
Petitioner's naval record.
4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the
foregoing is a true and complete record of the board’s
proceedings in the above entitled matter. It is certified that a
quorum was present at the Board's review and deliberations, and
that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's
proceedings in the above entitled matter.

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section
6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of
Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulation, Section 723.6(e))
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby
announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the
authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
