BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BUG
Docket No: 4698-13
8 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 8 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 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
29 September 1972. You received nonjudicial punishment on three
occasions and were convicted by civil authorities. Your
offenses included unauthorized absence (five periods totaling 53
days), absence from your appointed place of duty, disobeying a
lawful order (two instances), sleeping on watch, larceny, and
wrongful possession of prohibited weapons. You were then
notified that your commanding officer was recommending you for
administrative separation due to misconduct. You exercised your
procedural right to have your case heard by an administrative
discharge board (ADB). The ADB met, found that you had
committed misconduct, and recommended that you be discharged
‘with an other than honorable (OTH) characterization of service.
On 9 April 1975, you were discharged with an OTH
characterization of service due to misconduct.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, and
current desire to upgrade your discharge to receive veterans’
benefits. However, the Board ‘concluded that your discharge
should not be upgraded due to your numerous acts of misconduct.
You are advised that no discharge is upgraded due merely 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
. @ 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
ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
