DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
REC
Docket No: 03987-12
27 February 2013
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 21 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 19
August 1982, at age 18. On 20 September 1983, you provided a
urine sample that tested positive for the wrongful use of
Marijuana. Your chain of command decided not to discipline you.
On 20 September 1983, you were notified that administrative
discharge procedures were initiated and that you would receive a
general discharge due to misconduct upon your separation. On 23
September 1983, your commanding officer forwarded his
recommendation that you receive a general discharge by reason of
misconduct (drug abuse). The discharge authority directed a
general discharge. You were so discharged on 26 October 1983,
and assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for retention)
reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your record of service. However, the Board found that these
factors were not sufficient to warrant any change in your
characterization of service or reentry code, given your
misconduct and non-recommendation for retention. The Board also
noted that you were fortunate to receive a general discharge
since a separation under other than honorable conditions is
often directed when an individual is found to have committed
misconduct. 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,
\oBun,
W. DEAN P FFER
