DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
REC
Docket No: 12208-10
11 March 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 9 March 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 April 1980. On 23 June 1983, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for being in an
unauthorized absence (UA) status for 65 days. On 9 November
1983, you received NUP for five incidents of being UA. On
14 February 1984, you were convicted by a special court-martial
(SPCM) of failure to go to your appointed place of duty on three
occasions. You were sentenced to forfeitures of $600, reduction
in pay grade, and confinement at hard labor for 45 days. On 12
March 1984, administrative separation action was initiated by
reason of misconduct (frequent involvement). You waived your
rights to consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case
heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). On 13 April
1984, your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that
you be discharged under other than honorable conditions (OTH) by
reason of misconduct. On 25 April 1984, the discharge authority
directed an OTH discharge by reason of misconduct (frequent
involvement). On 7 May 1984, you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, and
overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge, given your record of two NJP’s and one
conviction by a SPCM of misconduct. The Board noted that you
waived your right to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention
or a more favorable characterization of service. Accordingly,
your application has been denied. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request.
yt is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
wavorable actionycannot be taken. You are entitled to have the
Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material
evidence or oth@r 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,
