REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD
Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. 1552
Encl: (1) DD Form 149 dtd 2 Feb 10 w/attchs
(2) Subject’s naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject,
hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed written
application, enclosure (1), with this Board requesting, in
effect, that his naval record be corrected by changing the
characterization of his general discharge assigned on 17
February 1988 be upgraded to a fully honorable discharge.
2. The Board, consisting of Mess, 7 CE 21d
Ms. QQ sand Spain, reviewed allegations of error and
injustice on 19 October 2010, and pursuant to its regulations,
determined that relief should be granted. 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 which were available under existing law
and regulations within the Department of the Navy.
b. Petitioner entered active duty in the Marine Corps on
27 August 1984. He was not the subject of any disciplinary
action during his term of service. On 5 March 1987, he was
assigned to weight control. On 28 July 1987, he was counseled
and warned that if he did not conform to weight standards he
could be administratively separated. On 1’ February 1988, he
received a general characterization of service for
unsatisfactory performance (failure to conform to weight
standards), and was assigned an RE-3P (failure to meet physical
standards) reenlistment code.
c. Characterization of service is based in part on
proficiency and conduct marks assigned on a periodic basis.
Petitioner’s proficiency and conduct mark average was 4.5/4.6,
respectively. A 3.0/4.0 average was required for a fully
honorable discharge.
CONCLUSION:
Upon reviq@w and consideration of all the evidence of record,
the Board finds the existence of an error and injustice
warranting upgrading Petitioner's general discharge to an
honorable characterization of service. The Board particularly
notes that he had no disciplinary action and his proficiency
and conduct mark average was sufficiently high to warrant an
honorable discharge. In view of the above, the Board directs
the following corrective action.
RECOMMENDATION :
a. That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected to show
that on 17 February 1988, he was issued an honorable discharge,
vice the general characterization of service on the same date.
b. That any material or entries @mconsistent with or *
relatimg’to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, removed or
completely expunged from Petitioner's record and that no such
entries or material be added to the record in the future.
c. That any material directed to be removed from
Petitioner’s naval record be returned to the Board, together
