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

SIN
Docket No: 2701-14
12 June 2014

 

From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records

To: Secretary of the Navy
Ref: (a) 10 U.S.C. 1552

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 with attachments
(2) Case Summary
(3) Subject's naval record

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, an
active duty Navy first class petty officer, filed enclosure (1)
with this Board requesting the removal of document ID #35141156
(administrative discharge case file) for failure to disclose
pre-service treatment for alcohol abuse from her official
military personnel file (OMPF).

2. The Board, consisting of Mr. Ivins, Mr. Sproul, and

Ms. Tollefson, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and
injustice on 11 June 2014 and, pursuant to its regulations,
determined that the limited corrective action indicated below
should be taken on the available evidence of record. Documentary
material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures,
naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining
to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice finds as
follows: .

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law. and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. On 20 January 1999, a message from Commander, Navy
Personne] Command (NPC) was forwarded to Petitioner’s command
indicating she may have fraudulently enlisted by failing to
disclose her pre-service treatment for alcohol abuse. It
directed the command to investigate and initiate administrative
discharge processing, or request a waiver. On 15 January 1999, a
request for waiver of administrative processing was forward to
NPC. On 29 January 1999, an NPC message directed that her
command prepare a page 13 counseling/warning stating that she was
being retained in the Navy despite her defective enlistment and
induction due to fraudulent entry as evidenced by her failure to
disclose pre-service treatment for alcohol abuse.

d. Petitioner states that she disclosed her driving under
the influence (DUI). conviction and alcohol awareness classes on
her original Questionnaire for National Security Positions
(Standard Form (SF) 86) prior to enlistment and therefore
believes the fraudulent enlistment never occurred. The SF 86
also reveals pre-service wrongful use of marijuana.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and
review of her SF 86, the Board concludes that her request
warrants partial favorable action in the form of relief.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board concludes that by her disclosing her
pre-service DUI, five day alcohol awareness class and wrongful
use of marijuana in her SF 86, which she received a waiver for,
she most likely would have been granted a waiver for her pre-
service treatment for alcohol abuse. The Board finds that her
SF 86 should remain in her OMPF because she admitted pre-service
misconduct in her security clearance request. The Board notes
that she has served over 16 years without any disciplinary
infractions or alcohol related incidents. The Board finds that
the message traffic R'-2018352 JAN 99 ZYB and R 2918282 JAN 99 ZYB
associated with document ID #35141156 should be removed from her
OMPF in light of her retention on active duty. In view of the
above, the Board directs the following limited corrective action.

RECOMMENDATION :

a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected by removing
the message traffic R 2018352 JAN 99 ZYB and R 2918282 JAN 99 ZYB
associated with document ID #35141156.

b. That no further relief be granted.

c.. That any material or entries inconsistent. with or
relating to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, removed or:
‘completely expunged from Petitioner's record and that no such
entries or material be added to the record in the future.
dad. That any material direct to be removed from Petitioner’s
naval record be returned to this Board, together with a copy of
this Report of Proceedings, for retention in a confidential file
Maintained for such purpose, with no cross reference being made a
part of Petitioner’s naval record.

4, Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's
proceedings in the above entitled matter.
