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 5

July 1967. You received nonjudicial punishment on two occasions
and were convicted by three summary courts-martial and one
special court-martial (SPCM). Your offenses were six periods of
unauthorized absence (UA) totaling 77 days. The sentence at your
SPCM included a bad conduct discharge (BCD) . On 11 January 1971,

after appellate review, you received the BCD.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, Vietnam
combat service, remorse, post service good conduct, and
honorable service in the Indiana Army National Guard. However,
the Board concluded that your BCD should not be changed due to
your periods of UA totaling over two months. You are advised
that no discharge is upgraded due solely 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 weuweis
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 1s on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.

Sincerely,

WXaiang

Executive Di ctor
