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

SUN
Docket No: 01068-11
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.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 8 November 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

12 January 1987. The Board found that you received four
nonjudicial punishments {NUP’s) for four periods of unauthorized
absence (UA) totaling 41 days, two instances of insubordinate
conduct, communicating a threat, disorderly conduct, and breaking
restriction. Subsequently, administrative discharge action was
initiated by reason of misconduct due to commission of a serious
offense. You waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a
statement or have your case heard by an administrative discharge
board (ADB). Your case was forwarded recommending that you be
discharged under other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason
of misconduct. The discharge authority concurred and directed an
OTH discharge by reason of misconduct due to commission of a
serious offense. You were so discharged on 20 August 1991. At
that time you were assigned an RE-4 reentry code.

The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed

all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge or
changing your reentry code given your four NJP’s for very serious
offenses. The Board noted that you waived the right to an ADB,
your best chance for retention or a better characterization of
service. Finally, an RE-4 reentry code must be assigned to all
Sailors discharged due to misconduct. 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,
