ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
TJR
Docket No: 5242-13
21 May 2014
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 14 May 2014. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 Ge probable material error or
injustice.
Prior to your entry into the Navy, you signed an enlistment
contract to attend the Broadened Opportunity for Officer
Selection and Training (BOOST) Program. As such you agreed to
enlist in the Navy Reserve fora period of eight years and
complete eight weeks of basic military training prior to
enrollment in the BOOST Program... You were advised and
acknowledged that failure to complete BOOST for any reason, other
than misconduct, could result in discharge and that if
disenrollment from it was due to misconduct, disposition would be
determined by a discharge authority.
Subsequently, you enlisted in the Navy Reserve and enrolled in
the BOOST Program on 11 May 1989. You served without
disciplinary incident until 12 January 1990, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for two periods of absence from your
appointed place of duty and were awarded a $728 forfeiture of
pay, restriction and extra duty for 30 days, and formal
counselling.
It appears that in January 1990, as a result of the foregoing,
you were disenrolled from BOOST. In this regard, you were
administratively processed for separation by reason of
disenrollment from BOOST as evidenced by your failure to
successfully complete it. on 3 February 1990 the discharge
authority directed discharge under honorable conditions and on 26
February 1990, you were issued a general discharge and assigned
an RE-3K reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your desire to upgrade the characterization of your discharge and
change the narrative reason for separation. It also considered
your letter of explanation regarding your request for a hardship
discharge. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge or
a change in your narrative reason for separation because of your
failure to successfully complete the BOOST Program. Finally, in
the absence of any evidence that your failure to complete the
BOOST Program was in error, the Board concluded that sufficient
evidence existed to support the discharge authority's decision.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.
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,
TRB Fo
