BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BIG
Docket No: 4983-12
19 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice. —
You enlisted in the Navy and entered active duty on 13 November
1980. You received nonjudicial punishment on six occasions for
failure to obey a lawful order, unauthorized absence (five
periods totaling 69 days), missing ship’s movement (two
specifications), and wrongful use of marijuana, amphetamines,
and methamphetamines. You were then notified that your
commanding officer was recommending you for administrative
separation with an other than honorable (OTH) characterization
of service discharge due to misconduct - drug abuse (use). You
waived your procedural right to an administrative discharge
board (ADB). On 5 August 1983, you received an OTH |
characterization of service discharge due to misconduct - drug
abuse (use), and were assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for
retention) reenlistment code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
remorse. However, the Board concluded that your discharge
should not be changed due to your acts of misconduct and drug
abuse. The Board particularly noted that you waived the right
to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention or a better
characterization of service. Finally, you are advised that no
discharge is upgraded automatically due solely to the passage of
time or post service good conduct. 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 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,
~
