BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON Dc 20370-5100 REC
Docket No: 08178-11

10 August 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 10 August 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

You entered active duty in the Navy on 1 September 1992. On two
occasions, 19 September 1996, and 19 November 2007, you signed
and acknowledged the Navy’s policy concerning sexual harassment.
On 22 duly 2010, your commanding officer initiated a preliminary
investigation of you regarding allegations of sexual assauit and
sexual harassment. On 9 August 2010, the investigating officer
provided your commanding officer with her findings, which
included statements from your fellow Sailors. On 10 August 2010,
you signed the acknowledgment and waiver of rights concerning the
alleged indecent conduct charges. On 11 August 2010, your
commanding officer approved all findings. On 20 August 2010, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for failure to obey an
order/regulation (wrongfully committing sexual harassment). You
received a punitive letter of reprimand. On 24 August 2010, you
provided your chain of command an appeal request. Your appeal
was ultimately disapproved. On 29 September 2010, your.
commanding officer submitted a request for detachment for cause
by reason of sexual harassment, which you were allotted
sufficient time to respond. However, you refused to submit a
statement. On 4 November 2010, your commanding officer forwarded
his request to the Bureau of Naval Personnel. On 21 March 2011,
the detachment for cause was approved.

In its review of your application, the Board considered ail
mitigating factors, such as your overall record of service.
However, the Board found these factors were insufficient to
warrant removing your NUP and derogatory material. The Board
concluded that your commanding officer’s decision to impose this
NUP was appropriate and that it was administratively and
procedurally correct as written and filed. The Board further
concluded that removal of the NUP or modification of the charge
was not warranted. The Board thus concluded that there was no
error or injustice in your NUP. 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 is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.

Sincerely,

W. DEAN PF E
Executive r
