DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490

 

TJIR
Docket No: 14-12
19 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 19 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 that the evidence submitted was

insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

The Board found that on 29 April 2011 you were convicted by
special court-martial (SPCM) of failure to obey a lawful
order/regulation and assault on recruits. In this regard, the
offenses consisted, in part, of pushing, poking, grabbing, ‘body
checking, dragging, shoving, placing your hands around a Marine’s
throat, and placing books on the heads of Marines. It appears
that you were also derelict in the performance of your duties.
Nonetheless, you were sentenced to a reduction in paygrade anda
Letter of Reprimand. As a result of the SPCM, you were also

counselled (issued a page 11 warning) and received an adverse
fitness report.

The Board has no authority to consider contentions pertaining to
improprieties in courts-martial and must limit its review to
determining whether the sentence should be modified as a matter
of clemency. With that being said, the Board concluded that your
commanding officer’s decision to convene a SPCM and the sentence
thereto, was appropriate, and that it was administratively and
procedurally correct as written and filed. 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,

> Beniiid

Executive Dir
