DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TAL
Docket No: 6283-10
24 March 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 17 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
12 June 1989 at age 18. On 11 December 1989, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for unauthorized absence (UA) from
your unit for a period of four days. On 15 July 1991, you were
UA from your unit for a period of 119 days until you surrendered
on 11 November 1991. On 21 November 1991, you were again UA from
your unit for a period of 123 days until you surrendered on 24
March 1991. Based on the information currently contained in your
record it appears that you were subsequently convicted by special
court-martial (SPCM) of UA from your unit for the forgoing
periods totaling 242 days. The sentence imposed included a bad
conduct discharge (BCD). On 8 June 1993, you received the BCD
after appellate review was complete.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct that
resulted in an NUP and periods of UA that totaled over eight
months. Finally, no discharge is upgraded merely because of the
passage of time. 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,
eos
W. DEAN PFI
