BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BUG
Docket No: 9627-10
25 May 2011
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions Of title 10 Gt 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 24 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 enlisted in the Marine Corps and entered active duty on 12
April 1973. You received nonjudicial punishment on six
occasions for sleeping on watch (two specifications),
unauthorized absence, disobeying a lawful order (five
specifications), and assault (six specifications). You were
notified of pending administrative separation processing with
an under other than honorable conditions discharge due to
misconduct. You elected to have your case heard by an
administrative discharge board (ADB), which met and found that
you had committed misconduct, and recommended your separation
with a general discharge. The discharge authority concurred
with the ADB’s finding and recommendation. On 24 September
1976, you were discharged under honorable conditions due to
misconduct, and assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for
retention) reenlistment code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth.
However, the Board concluded that your discharge should not be
changed due to your numerous acts of misconduct. The Board
believed you were fortunate to receive a general discharge,
since individuals who are separated for misconduct normally
receive an under other than honorable characterization of
_servicg:? You are advised that no discharge is upgraded
:‘autofatically due merely to the passage of time or post service
good conduct. 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.
Regarding your request for awards for Vietnam service, your
record reveals that you are only entitled to the National
Defense Service Medal.
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,
Den ge
Executive Director
