BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

Docket No: 556-12
22 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 16 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You reenlisted in the Navy Reserve on 27 June 2006 after more
than 10 years of prior honorable service. After accruing 20
unexcused absences from drill, your command initiated
administrative separation processing due to unsatisfactory
participation. You waived your procedural right to an
administrative discharge board (ADB). During February 2008, you
were discharged from the Navy Reserve with a general
characterization of service and assigned an RE-4 (not
recommended for reenlistment) reentry code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to change your reentry code. However, the Board
concluded that your reentry code should not be changed due to
your numerous unexcused absences. You are advised that no
reentry code is automatically changed due merely to the passage
of time or post service good conduct. The Board noted that you
waived your right to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention
or a better characterization of service. 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.
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 Gfficial 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,
ROBERT D./ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
