Ent

 

You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on
18 April 2000. You served without disciplinary incid ti
4 December 2004, when you received nonjudicial punishment (N
for failure to obey an order or regulation. Shortly ther
you tested positive for marijuana while reporting to conf]
correctional custody. As a result, you were recommended
administrative separation by reason of misconduct due to drug

abuse. On 1 March 2005, you were discharged with an other than

honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your desire to upgrade your character of service. Nevertheless,
the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
relief in your case, given the seriousness of your misconduct,
which included drug use. 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 or other matter not previously considered by
the Board within one year from the date of the Board’s decision.
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
