DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SJN
Docket No: 02086-11
2 December 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 29 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 12 August 1980. The Board found that between 26 May 1981
and 4 March 1983, you received five nonjudicial punishments
(wgP’s) for wrongful possession of marijuana, being drunk on
duty, five instances of disobedience, using disrespectful
language, and assault. You remained on active duty until you
were discharged under honorable conditions on 13 May 1983.
Characterization of service is based in part on your conduct mark
average computed from marks assigned on a periodic basis.
Although your record is incomplete, it appears your conduct mark
average was not high enough to warrant an honorable discharge.
At the time of your service, a conduct mark average of 4.0 was
required for a fully honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, record of
service, medical issues, and desire to upgrade your
characterization of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
characterization of service given your five NUP’s and what
appears to be your failure to attain the required average in
conduct. 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,
