Docket No: 00270-14
23 June 2014
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10, 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 18 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 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 14 June 2000. On 1 December 2005, you received
counseling concerning being in an unauthorized absence status
and violating a lawful written order. On 12.April 2011, you
received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for being absent from your
appointed place of duty and dereliction of duty. On 2 June
2011, you received NUP for failure to obey an order/regulation
by driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. On 3
June 2011, you received counseling informing you that you were
‘not recommended for promotion for a period of 12 months. On 4
October 2012, you received counseling informing you that you
were not recommended for promotion due to your lack of
initiative. You were separated on 29 November 2012, with an
honorable characterization of service and assigned an RE-4 (not
recommended for reenlistment) reentry code while serving in pay
grade E-4.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors present in
your case. However, the Board found those factors insufficient
to warrant any change in your reentry code, given your record of
two NUP’s for misconduct and non-recommendation for
reenlistment. Accordingly, 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,
Rt he
ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
