BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490

 

SIN
Docket No: 2639-14
6 April 2015

cea,

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.

Although your application was not filed in a timely manner, the
Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of
limitations and consider your application on its merits. A
three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on

25 March 2015. The names and votes of the members of the panel
will be furnished upon request. 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on

26 July 1989. On 6 December 1930, you received nonjudicial
punishment (NJP) for being absent from your appointed place of
duty. On 18 December 1992, you were found guilty by civil
authorities of wrongful possession of an unauthorized firearm.
You were sentenced to three years of probation plus time served.
Subsequently, administrative discharge action was initiated by
reason of misconduct due to commission of a serious offense. You
waived your rights to consult counsel, submit a statement, or
have your case heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB).
Your case was forwarded recommending that you be discharged under
other than honorable (OTH) conditions by reason of misconduct.
The separation authority concurred and directed an OTH discharge
by reason of misconduct. You were so discharged on 14 January
19:93.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your record of service, character letters, and desire to upgrade
your discharge. Nevertheless, based on the information currently
contained in your record, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given your NUP and civil conviction of a very serious offense.
The Board noted that you waived the right to an ADB, your best
chance for retention or a better characterization of service.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.

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 within one year from the date of the Board’s decision.
New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board
prior to making its decision in your case. 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 J. O'NEILL
Executive Director
