You  enlis~ed  in  the  Marine  Corps  a:id  began  a  period  o:  accive 
duty  on  29  May  :973 .  You  served  :or  :.wo  years  witnou~ 
disciplinary  incident,  but  dur~ng  the  period  o:  13  June  1975  co 
19  June  1976  you  received  nonjudicia~  punishrnenc  (NJ? )  on  five 
occasions  and  were  convicced  by  a  special  court-rnar~i al .  Your 
offenses  were  insubordinate  conduct,  :ai:.ure  to  go  to  your 
appointed  place  of  duty,  breaking  restr:._c~ion,  assault,  ~ailure 
to  obey  a  lawful  order,  and  wearing  a~  unauthorized  insignia. 

Subsequently,  you  made  a  ~rit:.e:i  request  :or  discharge  :or  the 
good  of  the  service  to  avoid  trial  by  co~rt-martial  ~or a  period 
of  unauthorized  absence,  insubordinate  conduct,  disobeying  a 
law:ul  order  :rom  a  superior  o::icer  a~d rnaY.ing  a  thre at .  Prior 
to  submitting  chis  request  you  c::o~~erred  ~it~ a  qual~f ~ed 
military  lawyer  at  which  time  you  were  advised  o:  your  rights  and 
warned  of  the  probable  adverse  consequences  o:  accepting  such  a 

discharge.  Your  r equest  ~as  grauted  and  the  commanding  0fficcr 
oirecced  your  other  than  honorable  (OTH )  discharge .  As  a  resulc 
of  this  action,  you  were  spared  the  stigma  o:  a  cour~-martial 
convict i on  and  the  potential  penalti es  of  a  punitive  discharge 
and  confinement  at  hard  labor.  On  26  July  ~976,  you  were  so 
discharged . 

~ne  ~oara,  in  its  review  or  your  entire  recora  and  appiication 
carefully  weighed  all  potentially  mitigating  factors,  such  as 
your  desir~ to  upgrade  your  discharge  and  assertion  chat  you  have 
been  diagnosed  wit.h  post-traumatic  stress  disorder  (PTSD)  . 
. Nevertheless,  the  Board  concluded  these  factors  were  not 
suf ficient  tc. warrant  recharacterization  of  your  discharge  given 
the  seriousness  of  your  misconduct  and  request  for  discharge . 
The  Board  believed  that  considerable  clemency  was  extended  to  you 
when  your  request  for  discharge  to  avoid  trial  by  court-martial 
was  approved.  Further,  the  Board  concluded  that  you  received  the 
benefit  of  your  bargain  with  the  Marine  Corps  when  your  request 
for  discharge  was  granted  and  should  not  be  permitted  to  change 
it  now .  Regarding  your  assertion  despite  providing  liberal 
consideration  of  your  PTSD  claim,  the  Board  determined  it 
insufficient  to  warrant  relief.  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  ne~ and  material 
evidence  within  one  year  :rom  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. 
important  to  keep  in  mi~d  that  a  presumpcio~ o~  regu :arit)' 
attaches  co  all  o::icial  records. 
Conseque~tl)',  when  applyi~g 
:or  a  correctio~ o :  an  of:ic ~ al  ~a~a:  record,  the  burden  is  on 
the  applica~t  to  demonstrate  the  exis~ence o:  probab:e  material 
error  or  i~justice. 

In  this  regard,  it  ~s 

Sincerely, 

ROBERT  J .  O'NEILL 
Executive  Director
