BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

SIN
Docket No: 00273-13
17 October 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 16 October 2013. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 a period of active
duty on 16 March 1983. The Board found that on 10 October 1984,
you received nonjudicial punishment for wrongful use of
marijuana. You received a forfeiture of pay, a reduction in
paygrade, restriction and extra duty. On 14 February 1985, you
were convicted by general court-martial (GCM) of conspiracy to
rob another Marine by means of force and violence, and two
specifications of larceny. You were sentenced to a forfeiture of
all pay and allowances, a reduction in paygrade, 15 months of
confinement, and a dishonorable discharge (DD). You received

a DD on 21 May 1986 after appellate review was completed.

The Board, in its review of your record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, record of service and desire to upgrade your
discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your NJP and GCM conviction of very serious misconduct.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.
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,
UN SN

W. DEAN PFEI E
Executive Direct
