BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BUG
Docket No: 2646-11
5 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy and entered active duty on 8 July
1992. You received nonjudicial punishment for underage
drinking of alcoholic beverages. You were then referred to
Level III alcohol abuse rehabilitation due to an alcohol
related incident. While undergoing treatment, you admitted to
wrongfully using marijuana and cocaine while on active duty.
You were determined to be a rehabilitation failure. You were
then notified that your commanding officer was recommending you
for administrative separation with an other than honorable
(OTH) characterization of service discharge due to misconduct.
You waived your procedural right to an administrative discharge
board (ADB). On 3 August 1993, you received an OTH
characterization of service discharge due to misconduct, and
were assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for retention) reentry
code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board
concluded that your discharge should not be changed due to your
acts of misconduct. The Board particularly noted that you
waived the right to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention
or a better characterization of service. You are advised that
no discharge is upgraded automatically due solely to the
passage of time or post service good conduct. In view of the
above, 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,
W. DEAN P
