Docket No: 4714-13
9 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 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 10 August 1989 after more than
seven years of prior honorable service. You received
nonjudicial punishment for the wrongful use of marijuana. 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
13 August 1992, you received an OTH characterization of service
discharge due to misconduct, and were assigned an RE-4 (not
recommended for retention) reentry code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, prior
honorable service, post service good conduct, 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 noted that you waived the right to an ADB, your best
opportunity for retention or a better characterization of
service. 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 nameszand 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,
| Se Ras
