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 10 November 2010. 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

The Board found that you enlisted in the Marine Corps on 29
November 1976. You received nonjudicial punishment on four
occasions and were convicted by a special court-martial. Your
offenses included an unauthorized absence, absence from appointed
place of duty, failure to go to appointed place of duty, willful
disobedience of a lawful order and disrespect.

On 27 February 1979 your commanding officer recommended that you
be separated from the Marine Corps with a discharge under other
than honorable conditions by reason of misconduct due to frequent
involvement of a discreditable nature with military authorities.
On 22 March 1979 you received nonjudicial punishment for absence
from appointed place of duty. You were separated from the Marine
Corps on 20 April 1979 with a discharge under other than
honorable conditions.

In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, overall
record of service, and the unsubstantiated contention that
chemicals in the Camp Lejeune water supply caused your
misconduct. The Board concluded that those factors were
insufficient to warrant recharacterization of your service or
change the reason to medical, given your extensive disciplinary
record. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The
names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished

upon request.

a .
gIt 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.
fonsequently, 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,

\ ss
