Docket No: 03351-10
20 January 2011
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 19 January 2011. 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 and began a period of active duty on
18 August 1987. The Board found that you received three
nonjudicial punishments (NJP’s) for absence from your. appointed
place of duty, two instances of disobedience, larceny, two
instances of wrongful use of marijuana, a breach of the peace,
and three instances of assault. Subsequently, administrative
discharge action was initiated by reason of misconduct due to
commission of a serious offense. You waived your rights to
consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by an
administrative discharge board (ADB). Your case was forwarded
recommending that you be discharged under other than honorable
(OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct. Your commanding
officer stated, in part, that you had been counseled on several
occasions and given numerous chances to conform to proper
Standards of behavior. The discharge authority concurred and
directed an OTH discharge by reason of misconduct. On 2 November
1988, you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your three NJP's, two of which were for drug use and the
fact that you were warned of the consequences of further
misconduct. Finally, the Board noted that you waived the right
to an ADB, your best chance for retention or a better
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
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,
W. DEAN PFETRF
