This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United
States Code, Section 1552.
BR three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 2 December 2014. 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
ANTUSELCE .
You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 4
September 1959. You served for about two years and nine months
without disciplinary incident, but during the period from 18 June
to 20 September 1962, you received nonjudicial punishment (NOP)
on three occasions for absence from your appointed place of duty,
disobedience, and a one day period of unauthorized absence.
On 17 December 1962, you were released from active duty under
honorable conditions and transferred to the Inactive Naval
Reserve at the expiration of your obligated service. On 28
December 1962, you were notified that you had been transferred to
Standby Reserve by reason of disqualifying marks in military
behavior and that you were not recommended for reenlistment. On
3 September 1965, upon completion of your enlistment, you were
discharged under honorable conditions. At that time character of
service was based, in part, on conduct and overall trait averages
which were computed from marks assigned during periodic
evaluations. Your conduct average was 2,82, however, an average
of 3.0 in conduct was required for a fully honorable
_gharacterization of service. $$ —=_—§=$_$___——— = csr enn tines
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your desire to upgrade your discharge and request for medals or
awards. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of your repeated misconduct which resulted in three NUPS,
-and -since your econduct—average was insufficiently high to warrant
a fully honorable characterization of service. Accordingly, your
application has been denied.
Finally, the Board noted that you may wish to contact the
Department of the Navy, Navy Personnel Command (BUPERS), Code
Pers-3C, 5720 Integrity Drive, Millington, TN 38055-3120 to
request administrative corrections in your record of service,
such as, but not inclusive of, the listing of or entitlement to
awards or medals.
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 o£ probable
material error or injustice.
