DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

BAN
Docket No: 11234-10
15 August 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 10 August 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
injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 14 January 1982, and served without
disciplinary incident until 24 April 1984, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for three specifications of
unauthorized absence (UA). Shortly thereafter, on 23 January
1985, you were convicted at a special court-martial (SPCM) of two
specifications of UA in excess of five and one half months. Your
sentence included a bad conduct discharge (BCD). However, before
you could be separated from military service you were in a UA
Status for almost four years. Upon your return, on 2 March 1989,
you were convicted at a general court-martial (GCM) of UA in
excess of three years and eight months, disrespect, and
communicating a threat. After appellate review, you were
separated on 5 July 1990, and received a BCD.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,

on
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, claim that you were traumatized in recruit training
and your time spent in Korea (although unsubstantiated).

However, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to
Warrant recharacterization of your discharge because of the
serious misconduct of your SPCM and GCM convictions.

Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

Tt 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,

\s

Executive WQikector
