BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

TAL
Docket No: 552-11
12 October 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 5 October 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 19 July 1956 at age 18. You received nonjudicial
punishment (NUP) on three occasions for insubordinate conduct
toward a superior noncommissioned officer, reckless operation of
a vehicle, unauthorized absence (UA) from your unit and failure
to obey a lawful order by violating curfew. You remained on
active duty until 18 July 1958 when you were discharged under
general conditions at the expiration of your enlistment based on
your disciplinary record and conduct mark average.
Characterization of service is based in part on your conduct
average computed from marks assigned on a periodic basis. Your
conduct mark average was 3.8. At the time of your service, a
conduct mark average of 4.0 was required for a fully honorabie
characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overali 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 three NUPs and failure to attain the required average
in conduct. 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 igs 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,
Ly
