BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
CRS
Docket No: 6543-12
26 June 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 June 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.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 17 September
1963. You received nonjudicial punishment on three occasions and
were convicted by two special courts-martial of offenses that
included five periods of unauthorized absence totaling 112 days.
On 29 December 1966 your commanding officer recommended that you
be separated from the Navy with a discharge under other than
honorable conditions by reason of unfitness due to frequent
involvement of a discreditable nature with military authorities.
After review by the discharge authority, the recommendation for
separation was approved and on 30 January 1967 you were separated
with a discharge under other than honorable conditions.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully considered
your contention to the effect that you were a victim of unfair
treatment but found it unsubstantiated and insufficient to
warrant approval of your request for corrective action.
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,
