Docket No: 5464-13
10 July 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 8 July 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 of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 25 September 1985. The Board found that during the
period from 3 September 1986 to 15 January 1992, you received
three nonjudicial punishments for 10 instances of uttering
worthless checks, missing ship's movement, and 10 days of
unauthorized absence (UA). You were also convicted by special
court-martial (SPCM) of 93 days of UA and missing ship’s
movement. Additionally, you were counseled and warned on more
than one occasion that continued misconduct could result in
administrative discharge action. You remained on active duty
until you were honorably released from active duty on 2 May 1992,
at the expiration of your enlistment. At that time, you were
assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for retention) reentry code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your record of
service and desire to change your reentry code. Nevertheless,
the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
a change in your réentry code given your overall record that
included three NUP’s, a SPCM conviction and numerous counseling
warnings. In this’regard, an RE-4 reentry code is required when
a Marine is separated at the expiration of his term of active
obligated service and is not. recommended for retention.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.
Regarding your request to change your social security number on
your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty
(DD Form 214), this is an administrative correction which can be
accomplished by sending a request to Headquarters Marine Corps
{Code MMSB), 3280 Russell Road, Quantico, Virginia 22134-5103.
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,
ROBERT D. ALMAN
Acting Executive Director
