BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TJR
, Docket No: 4874-09
26 April 2010
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 April 2010. 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 ail
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 Marine Corps on 17 March 1986 at age 18 and
began a period of active duty on 16 September 1986. You served
for a year without disciplinary incident. However, Quring the
period from 17 November 1987 to 23 August 1989, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) on three occasions and were
convicted by special court-martial (SPCM). Your offenses were an
18 day period of unauthorized absence, absence from your
appointed place of duty, disobedience, and assault.
Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation
by reason of misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. After
waiving your procedural rights, the discharge authority directed
discharge under other than honorable conditions by reason of
misconduct, and on 3 November 1989, you were 50 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 the seriousness
of your repetitive misconduct which resulted in three NJPs and a
SPCM. Finally, you were given an opportunity to defend yourself,
but waived your procedural right to present your case to an
administrative discharge board. 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,
F
W. DEAN
