BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

BAN
Docket No: 06979-10
19 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 16 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
injuebiee:.
You enlisted in the Navy on 26 January 1987, and served without
disciplinary incident until 11 July 1988, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for disobeying a lawful regulation,
and being drunk on duty. Shortly thereafter, you received the
following disciplinary actions: 22 February 1989, you were
convicted at a special court-martial of an unauthorized absence
(UA) in excess of nine weeks; on 27 April 1989, you received NJP
for UA; on 31 August 1989, you received NUP for UA, and the use
of illegal and controlled substances (marijuana and cocaine); and
on 13 September 1989, you received NIP for UA. Therefore, you
were recommended for separation with an other than honorable
(OTH) discharge due to your repeated acts of misconduct. You
waived all of your procedural rights, to include your right to an
administrative discharge board (ADB). The separation authority
approved the recommendation for an OTH discharge. Therefore, on
26 October 1989, you were separated with an OTH discharge and an
RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth. Nevertheless, the Board concluded that these factors
were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your
Furthermore, the Board found you waived your right to an ADB,
your best opportunity 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,
