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

 

TAL
Docket No: 154-11
30 September 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 28 September 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.

Rfter 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 24 November 1976 at age 20. You received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) on five occasions for two instances of failure
to go to your appointed place of duty, two instances of wrongful
‘possession of marijuana, and two instances of disobeying a lawful
order. You were notified of pending administrative discharge
processing with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge due to
misconduct (frequent involvement). You waived all of your
procedural rights, including your right to an administrative
discharge board (ADB). On 30 October 1980, you received the OTH
discharge for misconduct (frequent involvement) .

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 the seriousness of your misconduct that
resulted in five NOPs and drug possession. The Board noted that
you waived the right to an ADB, your best chance for retention or
a better characterization of service. Accordingly, 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 alli 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,

\ ows
