DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BUG
Docket No: 4647-11
8 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 7 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Marine Corps and entered active duty on 8
February 1988. You received nonjudicial punishment for failure
to obey a lawful order. On 6 December 1988, you were referred
to Level III inpatient alcohol abuse rehabilitation. You
refused to undergo treatment. You were then administratively
separated due to alcohol abuse rehabilitation failure. On 15
May 1989, you were discharged with a general characterization of
service (type warranted by your service record), and were
assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for retention) reenlistment
code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and claim
that you have gotten help for your alcohol abuse problem.
However, the Board concluded that your discharge should not be
changed because of your alcohol abuse rehabilitation failure and
misconduct. You are advised that no discharge is upgraded due
merely 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.
Tt 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) Daan’
