DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

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

 

TOR
Docket No: 733-11
21 October 2011

 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 18 October 2011. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 reenlisted in the Navy Reserve on 10 January 2007 after
nearly nine years of prior honorable service. You continued to
gerve without disciplinary incident until 2 July 2008, when you
received nonjudicial punishment (NOP) for wrongful use of
amphetamines. The punishment imposed was reduction to paygrade
E-4, restriction for 60 days, anda $2,135.10 forfeiture of pay.

Subsequently, you were administratively processed for separation
by reason of misconduct due to drug abuse. The discharge
authority directed separation under other than honorable
conditions and on 23 July 2008, while serving in paygrade E-4,
you were so discharged. At that time you were not recommended
For reenlistment and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record, to include the
Naval Discharge Review Board decisional document, and
application, carefully considered all mitigating factors, such as
your prior satisfactory service, post service conduct, and desire
to upgrade your discharge. It also considered the statements and
evidence provided in support of your case. Nevertheless, the
Board concluded the evidence and materials submitted were not
sufficient to warrant any favorable action given the seriousness
of your drug related misconduct which was contrary to the Navy's
“zero tolerance” policy regarding drug use. Accordingly, your
application has been denied.

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,

W. DEAN P E
Executive [Director
