BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BUG
Docket No: 9258-10
4 May 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 3 May 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You entered active duty in the Marine Corps on 30 June 1966.
You received nonjudicial punishment on four occasions and were
convicted by a special court-martial (SPCM). Your offenses
included three specifications of unauthorized absence (UA)
totaling 128 days, breaking restriction, making a false
official statement, and failure to be at your appointed place
of duty. On 7 June 1968, you were convicted by a SPCM of a UA
totaling 31 days. Your sentence included a bad conduct
discharge (BCD). On 2 January 1969, after appellate review,
you received the BCD.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth,
remorse, the passage of time, post service good conduct, and
current desire for veterans’ benefits. However, the Board
concluded that your BCD should not be changed due to your
numerous acts of misconduct. You are advised that no discharge
is upgraded due solely to the passage of time or post service
good conduct. You are further advised that the Presidential
Pardon program for Vietnam era veterans does not provide
entitlement to veterans’ benefits. In view of the above, 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,
W) ‘oor
