DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BC
Docket No: 00450-14
27 May 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 21 May 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 4 January 1999. On 22 July 1999, you received
counseling for numerous unauthorized absences (UA‘’s). On
1 December 1999, you received counseling for conduct unbecoming
a Marine by being drunk and causing a disturbance in a public
place. On 28 June 2007, you received counseling for poor
judgment in the performance of your duties, lack of
responsibility, maturity and standards required of a senior non-
commissioned officer. On 13 March 2012, you received counseling
concerning the arrest and pending civil charges of wiliful
cruelty to a child. On 10 April 2012, the Incident
Determination Committee determined that the case met the
criteria for child physical maltreatment. On 24 April 2012,
Headquarters Marine Corps directed that you be assigned an RE-4
(not recommended for reenlistment) reentry code upon your
separation by reason failure to demonstrate high standards of
leadership, professional competence, and personal behavior. On
28 August 2012, your commanding officer recommended that you he
given a 12 month extension, however, the discharge authority
denied the request and on 31 October 2012, you were separated
with an honorable characterization of service and assigned an
RE-4 (not recommended for reenlistment) reentry code.
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 were
insufficient to warrant any change in your reentry code, given
your record of numerous counselings 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.
Consequentiy, 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,
Rts SR
ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
