Docket No: 04298-12
20 March 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 19 March 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 August 1976. The Board found that on 20 dune 1977, you were
diagnosed with an immature personality disorder that existed
prior to your entry onto active duty. Subsequently,
administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of
convenience of the government due to poor job performance. Your
commanding officer stated, in part, that your performance was
noncontributory to unit readiness and mission accomplishment as
specifically evidenced by your below average performance ratings,
and that you were unable to adapt to military life. After being
afforded all of you procedural rights, you received a general
discharge on 23 September 1977.
Characterization of service is based in part on conduct marks
assigned on a periodic basis. Your conduct average was 2.6. At
the time of your service, a conduct average of 3.0 was required
for a fully honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, record of
service, medical issues, and desire to upgrade your
characterization of service. Nevertheless, the Board conciuded
these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
characterization of service given your poor performance, the fact
that you were unable to adapt to military life, and failure to
attain the required average in conduct. 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 ail 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,
Lo woanPe
