ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
TAL
Docket No: 4558-13
22 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 16 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 27 June 1994 at age 18. On 8 August 1996, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for unauthorized absence (UA) from
your unit for a period of 15 days. On 28 January 1997, you were
convicted. by special court-martial (SPCM) of wrongful
appropriation of a 1990 Geo Tracker, the property of another
Marine and UA from your unit for a period of five days. The
sentence imposed was confinement, a forfeiture of pay, reduction
in paygrade and a bad conduct discharge (BCD). On 23 February
1998, 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 an NJP and an SPCM. Finally, there is no provision
of law or in Marine Corps regulations that allows for
recharacterization of service due solely to the passage of
timed. 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,
