DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

Docket No: 3001-10
26 January 2011

 

 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 January 2011. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 30 November 1979 at age 19 and served
for about a year and two months without disciplinary incident.
However, during the period from 26 January to 30 December 1981,
you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) on seven occasions.
Your offenses were 16 specifications of failure to go to your
appointed place of duty, two specifications of failure to obey a
lawful order, absence from your appointed place of duty, two
specifications of disobedience, dereliction of duty, and wrongful
possession of marijuana.

Subsequently, you were notified of pending administrative
separation action by reason of misconduct due to frequent
involvement of a discreditable nature with military authorities.
At that time you waived your right to consult with legal counsel
and to present your case to an administrative discharge board
(ADB). On 22 January 1982 your commanding officer recommended
discharge under other than honorable conditions by reason of
misconduct due to frequent involvement of a discreditable nature
with military authorities. On 28 January 1982 the discharge
authority approved this recommendation and directed separation
under other than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct,
and on 5 February 1982 you were so discharged.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to upgrade your discharge. Nevertheless,
the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge because of your repetitive
misconduct which resulted in seven NJUPs. Further, you were given
an opportunity to defend your actions, but waived your procedural
right to present your case to an ADB. Accordingly, your
application has been denied.

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,
