DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No: 1128-16/ 329-13 

Dear

This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request dated 10 February 2016. You previously petitioned the Board and were advised in our letter that your applications had been disapproved. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board ofCorrection ofNaval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary ofthe Army, 33F.Supp.2d 48 (D.D.C 2004). 

Because your application was submitted with new evidence not previously considered, the Board found it in the interest ofjustice to review your application. Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session on 4 October 2016. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe panel will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour application and any material submitted in support ofyour application. 
After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board determined that the documentation that you provided, even though not previously considered by the Board, was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. A review of your recent application and its attachments reveal that again your request must be denied. In this regard, the Board found that your contention that you were immature and rebelled against authority was not enough to outweigh your misconduct and does not warrant further consideration in your case. The record shows that you were notified of and waived your procedural right to present your case to an administrative board (ADB). In doing so, you gave up your first and best opportunity to advocate for retention or a more favorable characterization ofservice. Your punishment, which resulted in two NJPs and a civil conviction, was a direct result ofyour actions. In the end, the Board found your misconduct too serious to warrant upgrading your discharge. 

It is regrettable that the circumstances ofyour case are such that the Board will not process any additional reviews and this matter is considered a final action. However, if you wish to continue to seek relief you will need to present your concerns to a court ofappropriate jurisdiction. 


Executive Director
