DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 CRS

Decket Nei SOSi=14
18 April 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 13 April 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.

The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 5 August 2005.
On 14 December 2006 you received nonjudicial punishment for an
unauthorized absence and making a false official statement. On 9
January 2007 you received a general discharge by reason of

misconduct due to the commission of a serious offense, and were
assigned a reentry code of RE-4.

In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and overall
service record. The Board concluded that those factors were

insufficient to warrant recharacterization of your service, given
the seriousness of your offenses.

Applicable regulations requiré the assignment of an RE-4 reentry
code when a Sailor is discharged by reason of misconduct. Since
you have been treated no differently than others in your
situation, the Board could not find an error or injustice in the
assignment of your reentry code. 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 ig on the applicant to demonstrate the
“existence of probabl¢ material error or injustice.

Sincerely,

\9!

W. DEAN PFEIFF
Executive Directjo
