Docket Ne: 12825-14
23 March 2015
Dear (Sy
This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request
dated 11 November 2014. You previously petitioned the Board on
several occasions and were advised in our letters that your
applications had been denied.
Although your application was submitted without any new evidence
not previously considered, the Board found it in the interest of
justice to review your application. Your current request has
been carefully examined by a three-member panel of the Board for
Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session on
4 March 2015. The names and votes of the members of the panel
will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered
by the Board consisted of your application and any material
submitted in support of your application.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board determined that the statements you provided
and assertion of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) asa
reason for your misconduct, even though not previously
considered by the Board, was insufficient to establish the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Your assertion of PTSD was carefully considered by the Board in
light of the Secretary of Defense's Memorandum *Supplemental
Guidance to Military Boards for Correction of Military/Naval
Records Considering Discharge Upgrade Requests by Veterans
Claiming Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” of September 3, 2014.
The Board was unable to substantiate your claims of PTSD and you
provided no evidence other than your letter. Based on the
guidelines of the memo, the Board determined insufficient
evidence exists for a finding of PTSD. In addition, it was their
opinion that the seriousness of your misconduct outweighed any
mitigation that would be offered by the PTSD. Accordingly, your
application must again be denied. In this regard, the Board
found that your contentions are insufficient to warrant further
consideration in your case. In the absence of sufficiently
Material evidence for reconsideration, the decision of the Board
is final, and your only recourse would be to initiate action, at
no cost to the Board, to a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
Sincerely,
* ROBERT J. O'NEILL
Executive Director
