DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BJG
Docket No: 6320-13
17 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.
It is noted that since your discharge is less than 15 years old,
you may apply with the enclosed application to the Naval
Discharge Review Board for a possible change of your
characterization of service and reason for discharge.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 17 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.
The Board found that you reenlisted in the Navy Reserve on 18
December 2011 after eight years of prior honorable service. You
were notified that your command was initiating administrative
discharge processing for unsatisfactory participation after you
accumulated 16 unexcused absences. You waived your procedural
rights. On 22 March 2013, you were administratively separated
with a general characterization of service in pay grade E-6 due
to unsatisfactory participation, 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, prior
honorable service, and current desire to serve in the armed
forces. However, the Board concluded that your reentry code
should not be changed because of your unsatisfactory
participation and non-recommendation for retention. 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,
Tp ยป oo
ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
