‘to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in’ the’ Navy and began ¢ a period. of active duty on 9.
September 1997. You served without disciplinary incident ‘until 3
Septeniber 1998,‘ when: you. recéived nonjudicial punishment (NUP)

an other than honorable discharge by reason of: misconduct, and on:

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your post service conduct and desire to upgrade your discharge.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of the seriousness of your misconduct which resulted in
an NUP. Further, you were given an opportunity to defend
‘yourself, but waived your procedural-right to present your case
to an ADB. 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.

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.
