BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
REC
Docket No: 01078-10
20 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 20 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 Reserve on 5 July 1984, at age 21. On
29 July 1988, you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for the
illegal use of a controlled substance. On 1 December 1988,
administrative separation action was initiated by reason of
misconduct for drug abuse. You waived your rights to consult
counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by an
administrative discharge board (ADB). Your commanding officer
forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under other
than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. On 9 February
1989, the discharge authority directed an other than honorable
discharge by reason of misconduct for drug abuse. On 15 February
1989, you were so discharged. At that time you were assigned an
RE-4 reenlistment code.
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 found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge, given your record of NUP for drug abuse. The
Board noted that you waived your rights to an ADB, your best
opportunity for retention or a more favorable 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
gvidence or other matger not previously considered by the Board.
gin this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a
#oresumption 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
#existente of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
ls Yaa
W. DEAN PFEIRFE
