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

 

REC
Docket No: 05227-10
3 March 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 2 March 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

31 July 1980. On 15 July 1981, you received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) for being disrespectful toward a commissioned
officer and disobeying a lawful order. On 27 August 1981, you
received NUP for being in an unauthorized absence (UA) status for
one day. On 16 January 1982, you were convicted by a summary
court-martial (SCM) of four instances of disobeying a lawful
order, and wrongfully using provoking words. You were sentenced
to forfeitures of $367, reduction in pay grade, and confinement
at hard labor for 30 days. On 25 February 1982, you were
notified that administrative discharge procedures were initiated
and that you would receive a general discharge and a reenlistment
code of RE-4 upon your separation. However, your misconduct
continued, and on 23 March 1982, you received your third NJP for
five incidents of disobeying a lawful order. The discharge
authority directed a general discharge. You were so discharged

on 12 March 1982.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. However, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant any change in your narrative reason for
separation or your reenlistment code, given your record of three
NgP’s, and conviction by a SCM of misconduct. The Board also
noted that you were fortunate to receive a general discharge
since a separation under other than honorable conditions is often
directed when an individual is found to have committed
misconduct. 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,
