Docket No: 5969-13
4 June 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 3 June 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 active duty on 26 September
1985. You received nonjudicial punishment and were convicted by
a general court-martial (GCM). Your offenses included wrongful
use of cocaine, wrongfully attempting to distribute cocaine,
wrongful introduction of cocaine aboard a Naval vessel, wrongful
distribution of cocaine (five instances), and wrongful
distribution of marijuana (two instances). The sentence at your
GCM included a dishonorable discharge (DD).
in its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, remorse,
and request for clemency. However, the Board concluded that
your DD should not be changed due to your serious acts of
misconduct. The Board concluded that your sentence was not
overly harsh in light of the serious nature of your repeated
misconduct. You are advised that no discharge is upgraded 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,
