DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON BC 20370-5100
TAL
Docket No: 610-11
21 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 19 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on
26 June 1991 at the age of 18. You received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) on three occasions for failure to obey a lawful
regulation (possessing alcohol on board a ship), drunkenness,
underage drinking, attempting a false affirmation, and
insubordinate conduct toward a superior petty officer. After
your first NUP, you were counseled regarding your misconduct and
warned that further offenses could result in administrative
separation. On 23 June 1993, you were notified of pending
administrative discharge processing with an other than honorable
(OTH) discharge due to a pattern of misconduct. You waived your
rights to consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case
heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). On 26 June
1993, your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that
you be discharged under OTH conditions by reason of misconduct.
‘The separation authority directed an OTH discharge by reason of
misconduct due to a pattern of misconduct. On 24 August 1993 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 changing your
characterization given the seriousness of your misconduct that
resulted in three NOPs. The Board noted that you waived the
right to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention or a better
characterization of service. Finally, there is no provision of
law or in Navy regulations that allows for recharacterization of
service due solely to the passage of time. 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 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,
\pDae-§
