ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BJG
Docket No: 7582-13
13 August 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 12 August 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 began a period of active duty on 9
April 1969. You received nonjudicial punishment for wrongful
appropriation. You were seen by a military psychiatrist and
diagnosed with a schizophrenic reaction hebephrenic type that
made you unsuitable for further service. You were then placed
on the temporary disability retired list with a type warranted
by service record characterization of service. On 23 March
1970, you received a general characterization of service
a ee
discharge, and were assigned a waivable RE-3P (condition, not a
disability) reenlistment code.
Characterization of service is based, in part, on trait marks
assigned on a periodic basis. Your overall trait mark average
‘was 2.8. A 3.0 overall trait mark average was required for a
fully honorable discharge.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board
concluded that your application should be denied due to your
misconduct and insufficiently high overall trait mark average.
You are advised that no discharge is automatically 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,
ROBERT D. 4ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
