application on 9 July 2014. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this

of your application, together with all material submitted in
support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes,
regulations and policies.

totaling one day), failure to obey a lawful order (six
instances), wrongful possession of marijuana, disrespect (two
instances), disobedience of a lawful written order, breaking
restriction (three instances), and being drunk and disorderly.

all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board
concluded that your discharge should not be changed due to your
numerous 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.
