DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490

 

REC
Docket No: 12296-12
28 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 27 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 Marine Corps and began active duty on

29 June 1954. On 19 October 1955, you received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) for failure to go to your appointed place of
duty. On 15 May 1956, you were convicted by the Superior Court
in Hartford, Connecticut, of robbery with violence. You were
sentenced to confinement in prison for one to three years.
Administrative separation action was initiated by reason of
misconduct. You waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a
statement and have your case heard by an administrative
discharge board (ADB). Your commanding officer forwarded his
recommendation that you be discharged under other than honorable
(OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct (unfitness). The
discharge authority directed an OTH discharge by reason of
misconduct (unfitness). On 7 June 1956, you received an OTH
discharge for misconduct (unfitness).
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth.
Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant changing the characterization of your
discharge, given your record of one NUP and a civil conviction
of serious 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,
