Docket No: 7814-06
8 November 2006

This is in reference to our application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 155

A three-member panel of he Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 8 November 2006. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed n 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.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion furnished by Headquarters Marine Corps dated 24 .August 2006, a copy of which is attached.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found hat the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. In his connection the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of he panel will be furnished upon request.

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot e 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. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regulation 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

(6)	DD Form 149 of 9 Aug 06

1.	1.  XXXX service record has been reviewed and it has been determined that at the time of separation he was assigned a reenlistment code of Rp-4, which means that he was not recommended for reen1isti~nent. The reenlistment code was Correctly assigned and wish based on his overall record.

2.	XXXX was honorably discharged on October 26, 2005 by reason of completion of required active service. A review of his service record indicates that he was counseled concerning an established pattern of misconduct; driving with an expired registration; not having the registration in his vehicle; failing to register his vehicle; failing to show proof of financial responsibility of the vehicle he was driving; failure to appear at scheduled court dates for traffic violations; unauthorized absence; fraternization; and adultery. The disciplinary portion of his record shows he received two nonjudicial punishments under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for offenses that included unauthorized absence, willfully disobeying orders, fraternization, and engaging in sexual intercourse with a woman not his wife. Enclosures (1) through (5) pertain.

3.	After a review of all relevant information, this Headquarters concurs in the professional evaluation of  qualifications for reenlistment at the time of separation. Once a code is correctly assigned it is not routinely changed or upgraded as a result of events that occur after separation or based merely on the passage of time.

	4.	Enclosure (6) is returned for final action.
