BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
TUR
Docket No: 3326-11
23 January 2012
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 18 January 2012. 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 on 23 March 1992 at age 22 and began a
period of active duty. You served for about six months without
disciplinary incident. However, during the period from 10
September 1992 to 4 February 1993 you received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) on. three occasions for two periods of failure to
go to your appointed place of duty, three specifications of
failure to obey a lawful order, and being drunk on duty.
Subsequently, you were notified of pending administrative
separation processing by reason of misconduct due to commission
of a serious offense. After waiving your procedural rights to
consult with legal counsel and to present your case to an
administrative discharge board (ADB), on 26 February 1993, your
commanding officer recommended discharge under other than
honorable conditions by reason of misconduct. On 29 March 1993
the discharge authority approved this recommendation and directed
your commanding officer to issue you an other than honorable
discharge by reason of misconduct, and on 2 April 1993, you were
so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, post service conduct, and desire to upgrade your
discharge. It also considered your assertion of being
intimidated and as such forced to receive an other than honorable
discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of the seriousness of your repetitive misconduct which
resulted in three NJPs. Finally, there is no evidence in the
record, and you provided none, to support your assertion of being
intimidated. 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,
Executive
