DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
JDR
Docket No: 4543-14
29 April 2015
This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request
dated 16 October 2014. You previously petitioned the Board and
were advised in our letter of 22 September 1995 that your
application had been denied.
Because your application was submitted with 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
24 April 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.
The Board also considered your assertion of post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) in light of the Secretary of Defense's
September 3, 2014, guidance to Boards for Correction of Military
records regarding discharge upgrade requests by veterans
claiming PTSD. The Board liberally considered whether your PTSD
was a causative factor in the misconduct that resulted in your
separation. After careful and conscientious consideration of
the entire record, the Board determined that the documentation
you provided, even though not previously considered by the
Board, was insufficient to support a conclusion that a causal
relationship with the PTSD symptoms and misconduct existed.
Specifically, the Board concluded that your misconduct was not
caused by your PTSD and further determined that, even if there
was a nexus between the PTSD and the misconduct, the severity of
the misconduct would substantially outweigh any mitigation
created by your PTSD.
Accordingly, your application has again been denied. In this
regard, the Board found that your assertion is 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’NETLL
Fxeecutive Director
