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

 

TUR
Docket No: 9411-10
2 February 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 1 February 2011. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 on 11 October 2008 you were the subject of
a routine traffic stop by civil authorities. As a result, you
were apprehended for suspicion of driving while impaired as
evidenced by your driving left of the center of the road and the
detection of the odor of alcohol on your breath. On 17 October
2008, during an inquiry into the foregoing civil charges and
being suspected of drunken or reckless operation of a vehicle,
you exercised your right to remain silent. Nonetheless, on 13
November 2008, you were charged with physically controlling a
passenger vehicle while the alcohol concentration in your breath
was equal to or exceeded the legal limit. On 3 December 2008,
you were notified of the intent to conduct a hearing regarding
your offense of drunken or reckless driving. At that time you
“did not desire to demand trial by court-martial” and accepted
punishment under Article 15. Shortly thereafter, on 19 December
2008, you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for drunken or
reckless driving.
On 15 January 2009, the offenses for which your driver's license
was revoked and you were apprehended by civil authorities,
specifically, driving while impaired and driving left of the
center of the road, were judicially dismissed in civil court.
However, this dismissal, in no way, negated your commanding
officer’s decision to impose the foregoing NUP.

The Board noted that you accepted NJP and did not appeal the
findings of guilt. The Board concluded that the NUP was
appropriate and that it was administratively and procedurally
correct ds written and filed. Finally, the Board concluded that
there was no evidence in the record ‘to support removal of the
NJP. Accordingly, your application has been denied.

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,

Lo Doon

W. Deen PFEIN'F
Executive Di Cc
