BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BJG
Docket No: 5818-13
21 May 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 20 May 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
24 February 1987. You received nonjudicial punishment on two
occasions and were convicted by civil authorities. Your
offenses included attempted grand larceny, unauthorized absence,
and petty larceny. 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
found that you had committed misconduct, and recommended that
you be discharged with an other than honorable (OTH)
characterization of service. On 16 August 1991, you were
discharged with an OTH characterization of service due to
misconduct, and 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, remorse,
character reference letters, and current desire to upgrade your
discharge. However, the Board concluded that your discharge
should not be upgraded due to your 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
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,
(Sek SO
