Docket No: 0619-20 Ref: Signature Date Dear This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552. After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently, your application was denied. 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 28 September 2020. 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, relevant portions of your naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. You enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period of active duty on 10 September 2007. On 19 November 2008, nonjudicial punishment (NJP) was imposed on you for Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation and Adultery. In addition, you were issued a retention warning. You were not recommended for promotion to Lance Corporal. On 18 January 2011, NJP was imposed on you for Perjury and False Official Statement. On 9 September 2011, you were discharged with an Honorable discharge and RE-4 reentry code. You requested an upgrade of your reentry code to RE-3 or better in order to allow you to enlist in the Army. You asserted that your discharge was in error, as it was Honorable, at the end of your contract and that does not match an RE-4. You also asserted that, since you got out, you were involved with countless volunteer organizations and work for Department of Veterans Services and American Legion as a benefits counselor. Finally, you asserted that, in the last ten years, you learned a lot and matured in ways that would be beneficial to the services as you would not repeat your mistakes. The Board concluded these factors and assertions were not sufficient to warrant a change to your reentry code given your misconduct, which resulted in two NJPs, and the recantation of a false allegation you made toward another Marine. 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 matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149. New matters 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. Sincerely,
