DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
SUN
Docket No: 04456-11
15 February 2012
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 14 February 2012. 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
28 December 1971. The Board found that you received six
nonjudicial punishments (NJP’s) for unauthorized absence,
absence from your appointed place of duty, two instances of
failure to go to your appointed place of duty, wrongful use of
marijuana, and disobedience. On 20 October 1973, you received a
general discharge by reason of convenience of the government due
to your substandard performance and inability to adapt to
military service.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
Vietnam service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of
your discharge given your six NUP’s in such a short period of
time, one of which was for wrongful drug use, substandard
performance, and the fact that you were a burden to your
command. 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 SeLiicial
naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
\oPeasde
