DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
SIN
Docket No: 03316-12
26 February 2013
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 20 February 2013. 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 and began a period of active duty on
2 December 1982. The Board found that you received three
nonjudicial punishments (NJP’s) for unauthorized absence, being
incapacitated for the proper performance of your duties, failure
to go to your appointed place of duty, and wrongful use of
marijuana. Subsequently, administrative discharge action was
initiated by reason of misconduct due to wrongful drug use. You
waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a statement or have
your case heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). Your
case was forwarded recommending that you be discharged under
other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct.
On 14 September 1984, the discharge authority concurred and
directed an OTH discharge by reason of misconduct due to wrongful
drug use. You were so discharged on 27 September 1984.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your three NJP’s, one of which was for wrongful drug use.
Finally, the Board noted that you waived the right to an ADB,
your best chance for retention or a better 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 is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
Doak
W. DEAN PF
Executive Director
