Docket No: 5007-13
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 22 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
27 March 1989. You received nonjudicial punishment on three
‘occasions for disrespect (two instances), failure to obey a
lawful order (two instances), unlawful entry, two periods of
unauthorized absence totaling seven days, and using provoking
language. 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 November 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, mental
health issues, and current desire to upgrade your discharge.
However, the Board concluded that your discharge should not be
changed due to_your misconduct. The Board noted that you waived
yourjright 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 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,
