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

 

SJN

Docket No: 00955-11
9 November 2011

 

This ig 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.

zB three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 8 November 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 enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on
25 May 1983. The Board found that you received nonjudicial
punishment (NUP) for a five day period of unauthorized absence.
You were also convicted by special court-martial (SPCM} of
wrongful distribution of cocaine while onboard ship. You were
sentenced to confinement at hard labor, a forfeiture of pay, a
reduction in paygrade, and a bad conduct discharge (BCD). You
received the BCD on 4 March 1987 after appellate review was
completed.

The Board, in its review of your record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to upgrade your discharge. Nevertheless, .
based on the information currently contained in your record,

the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge given your NUJP and SPCM
conviction of a very serious drug related offense. 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,

Lanes

W. DEAN PF B
Executive Dilrac
