DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

BJG
Docket No: 703-10
4 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 30 September 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice. The Board found that you entered active
duty in the Marine Corps on 26 June 1981 and were honorably
discharged on 11 June 1984. You reenlisted on 26 June 1984.
You received nonjudicial punishment on three occasions for
wrongful use of marijuana, driving while your privileges were
suspended, and disrespect. You were notified that your
commanding officer was recommending you for administrative
separation with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge due to
misconduct (drug abuse). You waived all of your procedural
rights, including your right to an administrative discharge
board (ADB). On 19 November 1984, you received an OTH
discharge due to misconduct (drug abuse), and were assigned an
RE-3B (in-service drug involvement) reenlistment code.

In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, prior
honorable discharge, and post service good conduct. The Board
concluded that your discharge should not be upgraded due to
your acts of misconduct and drug abuse. The Board found that
you waived your right to an ADB, your best opportunity for
retention or a better characterization of service. In view of
the above, 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,

\DNons

W. DEAN P
Executive
