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 a period of active duty on
11 July 1983. You received nonjudicial punishment for the
_. wrongful use of marijuana. You also tested positive in a>
urinalysis for the wrongful use of marijuana for which no
disciplinary action was taken. Your commanding officer then
recommended you for administrative separation with an other than
honorable (OTH) characterization of service discharge due to
“misconduct. You waived your procedural right to an
administrative discharge board (ADB). On 21 March 1986, you
received an OTH characterization of service discharge due to
misconduct, 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, »
allegation that you were denied drug rehabilitation, and current
desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board concluded
that your discharge should not be changed due to your 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. Regarding your allegation, the
Board found that your record reflects that you were found not to
“be dependent on Marijuana. 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.

ROBERT D. ZSALMAN .
