REC
Docket No: 00258-12
15 October 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 3 October 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 on 28 January 1981, at age 18. On 14
September 1983, you received nonjudicial punishment (NOP) for
two incidents of wrongful use of marijuana. On 15 September
1983, administrative separation action was initiated by reason
of misconduct for drug abuse (use). You waived your rights to
consult counsel, submit a statement or have your case heard by
an administrative discharge board (ADB). On 20 September 1983,
your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be
discharged under other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason
of misconduct (drug abuse). On 21 September 1983, the discharge
authority directed an OTH discharge by reason of misconduct for
drug abuse (use). On 4 October 1983, you received the OTH
discharge due to misconduct (drug abuse (use)). At that time
you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth.
Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge,
given your record of one NJP for drug abuse (use). The Board
noted that you waived your right to an ADB, your best
opportunity for retention or a more favorable characterization
of service. 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 ig on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
PtP
