Docket No: 6327-13
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.
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.
You enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 29 June 1970. You received nonjudicial punishment on two
eccasions and were convicted by a summary court-martial and a
special court-martial (SPCM). Your offenses included wrongful
appropriation, four periods of unauthorized absence (UA) totaling
284 days, and larceny. The sentence at your SPCM included a bad
conduct discharge (BCD). On 7 May 1975, after appellate review,
you received the BCD.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, remorse,
alcohol ‘abuse issues, and current desire to upgrade your
discharge. However, the Board concluded that your BCD should
not be changed due to your acts of misconduct and periods of UA
totaling more than nine months. 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,
(Se,
