DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

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

TAL
Docket No: 4421-13
16 April 2014

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 9 April 2014. 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on
19 September 1986 at age 19. You received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) on two occasions for unauthorized absence (UA)
from your unit, failure to go to your appointed place of duty
and insubordinate conduct toward a noncommissioned officer. On
12 December 1990, you were convicted by special court-martial ©
(SPCM) of UA from your unit for a period of 154 days, missing
ship’s movement and failure to obey a lawful written regulation.
The sentence imposed was confinement, a forfeiture of pay,
reduction in paygrade and a bad conduct discharge (BCD). On 29

May 1992, you received the BCD after appellate review was
complete.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and

overall record of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that

these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization
of your discharge given the seriousness of your misconduct that
resulted in two NUPs, a SPCM and periods of UA lasting more than
five months. Accordingly, your application has been denied.

The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.

a

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,
eS Fk

ROBERT D. ALMAN
Acting Executive Director
