DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

Docket No: 00650-11
27 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 26 October 2011. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
reguiations 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 13 April 1982. On 29 November 1984,
you received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for wrongful
distribution of cocaine. On 8 January 1985, administrative
separation action was initiated by reason of misconduct for drug
abuse (trafficking). You waived your rights to consult counsel,
submit a statement or have your case heard by an administrative
discharge board (ADB). On 25 February 1985, your commanding
officer forwarded his recommendation that you be discharged under
other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct for
drug abuse (trafficking). On 2 May 1985, the discharge authority
directed an OTH discharge by reason of misconduct for drug abuse
(trafficking). On 10 May 1985, you received the OTH discharge
due to misconduct for drug abuse (trafficking). At that time you
were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth.
Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge, given
your record of one NUP for drug abuse (trafficking). 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.

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,
\y Don See

W. DEAN P
Executive
