PART I - APPLICANT’S ISSUES AND DOCUMENTATION

Issues, as stated

Applicant’s issues, as stated on the application:

1. “I believe I was singled out often by my supervisor. My requests for my MOS training were ignored. When I hurt my back nobody would listen to me or let me go to sickbay. Additionally I was sexually abused by a teacher PM_who was aboard the USS Enterprise. Since being home I have done volunteer work, gone back to school and helped my family where I could. If I could I would go back into the Navy, I realize this would not happen, I only ask for a discharge upgrade.”

Additional issues submitted by Applicant’s counsel/representative (Disabled American Veterans):

2. “Equity. The OTH was too harsh and not appropriate in this case. Upgrade.”

PART III – RATIONALE FOR DECISION AND PERTINENT REGULATION/LAW

Discussion

The Applicant was discharged on 19990426 under other than honorable conditions for misconduct due to commission of a serious offense (A). The Board presumed regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs (B). After a thorough review of the records, supporting documents, facts, and circumstances unique to this case, the Board found that the discharge was proper and equitable (C and D).

Issue 1a: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because he was often singled out by his supervisors. The evidence of record demonstrates that the Applicant encountered significant disciplinary problems while in the Naval service. As a response to these problems, the Applicant’s chain of command appears to have made considerable efforts to rehabilitate the Applicant and help him conform to the standards of conduct and discipline expected of a sailor. Despite these efforts, the Applicant’s misconduct continued, ultimately resulting in his administrative separation. The Board found the Applicant’s claim to be without merit. Nothing in the record suggests improper or inequitable treatment of the Applicant by his chain of command. If anything, the Board considered the extra attention paid to the Applicant by his superiors a benefit to the Applicant in his attempts to correct his behavior. Relief denied.

Issue 1b: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because he was the victim of alleged sexual abuse that was a catalyst for his misconduct.
The only evidence that indicates the Applicant was a victim of sexual abuse while on active duty are the Applicant’s sworn testimony to the Board and his statements to a clinical psychiatrist some four years after his discharge. There exists no physical evidence, no eye-witness testimony, or no evidence of a prior claim of abuse while the Applicant was still on active duty. Furthermore, the testimony of the Applicant was nondescript and vague in terms of what type of abuse he actually suffered at the hands of his alleged abusers. After a careful review of the evidence submitted concerning the alleged sexual abuse, the Board found that the Applicant has failed to adequately establish his claim. The evidence submitted is simply not of the necessary nature and quality to support a serious claim of sexual abuse. As such, the Board found this issue to be without merit. Relief denied.

Issue 1c: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because he was denied his military occupational specialty (MOS) training.
The Applicant bears the burden of proof, by a preponderance of the evidence, in establishing any of his claims to the NDRB. The only evidence that indicates the Applicant was denied his MOS training are his sworn statements to the Board. The evidence of record indicates the Applicant was guaranteed Airman Apprenticeship training upon his enlistment. The record further reveals that the Applicant was assigned aboard the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) as an Airman Apprentice. Despite being assigned to his guaranteed MOS, the record further reveals that the Applicant was conditionally offered an assignment in engineering if he was able to excel in his Airman Apprentice duties. As a result of this evidence, the Board found that the Navy fulfilled its obligations to the Applicant with respect to his MOS training. The Applicant’s claim is without merit. Relief denied.

Issue 1d: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because of his post service accomplishments.
There is no law or regulation, which provides that an unfavorable discharge may be upgraded, based solely on the passage of time or good conduct in civilian life subsequent to leaving naval service. The NDRB is authorized to consider post-service factors in the recharacterization of a discharge to the extent such matters provide a basis for a more thorough understanding of the Applicant’s performance and conduct during the period of service under review. Examples of documentation that should be provided to the Board include proof of educational pursuits, verifiable employment records, documentation of community service, and certification of non-involvement with civil authorities. Unfortunately, as of this time, the Board found that the Applicant’s post-service conduct has been insufficient to mitigate his misconduct while in the Naval service. Relief denied.

Issue 1e:
Since the NDRB has no jurisdiction over reenlistment, reentry, or reinstatement into the Navy, Marine Corps, or any other of the Armed Forces, NDRB is not authorized to change a reenlistment code. An unfavorable “RE” code is, in itself, not a bar to reenlistment. A request for a waiver can be submitted during the processing of a formal application for reenlistment through a recruiter. Only the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) can make changes to reenlistment codes.

Issue 1f: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because his entrance testing scores were so low that only recruiter misconduct permitted his entry into the Naval service.
The government enjoys a presumption of regularity in the conduct of its affairs. The Applicant bears the burden of overcoming this presumption through the presentation of substantial and credible evidence to support his issue. There is no evidence in the record, nor has the Applicant produced any evidence, to support the contention that the recruiter violated regulations to get the Applicant through the recruitment process. The Applicant was 18 years, had graduated high school, and achieved an AFQT score of 43, 12 points above the absolute minimum acceptable score of 31 at the time of his enlistment. Likewise the Applicant did not self-admit to any illegal drug use or other serious misconduct which might have disqualified him from military service. Based upon this evidence, the record suggests that the Applicant was well qualified to serve in the Naval service at the time of his enlistment and there exists no evidence, which might demonstrate any recruiter impropriety. The Applicant’s statements alone do not overcome the government’s presumption of regularity in this case. Relief denied.

Issue 1g: The Applicant contends that his discharge is inequitable because his undiagnosed psychological disorders were the catalysts of his misconduct. In resolving this particular claim, the Board must determine whether it can be said with any certainty that the Applicant was suffering from these mental conditions while on active duty and, if so, were these conditions of such a severity to mitigate his misconduct. In support of his issue, the Applicant submitted a variety of medical documents attesting to the fact that, post-service, he has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, undifferentiated, chronic, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Furthermore, in the opinion of the Applicant’s doctor, these conditions also existed while the Applicant was on active duty and, according to the Applicant, are the catalysts for his misconduct. The Board does not dispute the veracity of the Applicant’s diagnosis as it relates to his present medical conditions. With respect to the question of the Applicant’s mental health on active duty, the Applicant’s reliance on the medical opinions of his current doctors presents several problems. The Board’s careful consideration of the Applicant’s medical evidence reveals that none of the Applicant’s current doctors evaluated him while he was actually on active duty. Furthermore, the Applicant’s civilian diagnosis comes nearly four years after his active duty stint came to an end.

The Board considered several key pieces of evidence concerning the Applicant’s mental condition while on active duty. Throughout the Applicant’s active duty service he was never evaluated by mental health personnel, even though there was ample opportunity for such treatment. The record reveals that the Applicant was often in the presence of medical professionals and received extensive medical care for back pain. On his separation physical, the Applicant gave no indication of mental problems and declared his physical condition to be “good.” Furthermore, the Applicant received an inordinate amount of attention from his supervisors as a result of his misconduct. Yet, despite this additional scrutiny there is no evidence that any of the Applicant’s superiors seemed to believe his disruptive behavior might be the result of mental disease. The Applicant appeared before an administrative discharge board where he had extensive interaction with his detailed defense counsel and the members of the Board. The record gives no indication that the detailed defense counsel or the members of the administrative discharge board believed that the Applicant’s conduct was of such a nature that it raised questions concerning the Applicant’s mental health. Finally, during his personal appearance hearing, the Applicant indicated to the members of the Board that he was fully aware that he was committing misconduct and furthermore, that he was aware such misconduct was in fact wrongful. Taking all of this evidence together, the Board concluded that the Applicant failed to meet the burden of proof in establishing to this Board’s satisfaction that he was suffering from mental disease or defect while on active duty. As such, the Board concluded the Applicant’s claim of mental disease as catalyst for his misconduct is without merit. Relief denied.

Issue 2: The Applicant, through counsel, contends that his discharge is inequitable because it was too harsh and not appropriate in the Applicant’s case.
An under other than honorable conditions discharge is warranted when significant negative aspects of a member's conduct or performance of duty outweigh the positive aspects of the member's military record. T he Applicant’s service was marred by disrespect to superiors, insubordinate conduct and refusal to follow lawful orders . This misconduct resulted in nonjudicial punishment proceedings for six separate violations of UCMJ Article 91, insubordinate conduct toward warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer, a summary court-martial conviction for nine violations of UCMJ Article 91, insubordinate conduct toward warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer, and other written and verbal counselings too numerous to count. The Applicant’s conduct, which forms the primary basis for determining the character of his service, reflects his willful failure to meet the requirements of his contract with the U.S. Navy. Such conduct falls far short of that expected of a member of the U.S. military and does not meet the requirements for an upgrade of his characterization of service. Relief is not warranted.

The following if provided for the edification of the Applicant. The NDRB has no authority to provided additional review of this case. The Applicant may, however, petition the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR), 2 Navy Annex, Washington, DC 20370-5100, concerning a change in the characterization of naval service, if he desires further review of his case.
