DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
SIN
Docket No: 5158-14
14 May 2015
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 12 May 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 Reserve and began a period of active
duty for training on 29 October 1971. On 6 July 1972, you were
honorably released from active duty and transferred to your
reserve unit. Your record is incomplete, in that it does not
contain all of the documentation related to your administrative
discharge. Based on the information currently contained in your
record, you were involuntarily processed for separation due to
unsatisfactory performance in the Ready Reserve. The record
clearly shows that on 27 December 1975, it was directed that you
receive a general discharge for convenience of the government
(lack of reserve participation), and you were not recommended for
reenlistment. 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.
