DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 0788-19 
Ref:  Signature Date 

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 has been denied.
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 20 November 2019.  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 request Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP).  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully considered your assertions regarding your current financial circumstances, your current disability, and the circumstances that lead to your misconduct.  Nevertheless, the Board concluded that you do not meet the eligibility criteria to receive ISP.  In accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 1332.29, an enlisted Service member who is separated for unsatisfactory performance or misconduct is ineligible for ISP.  The Board determined that you were not permitted to re-enlist, and you reached High -Year Tenure as a result of unsatisfactory performance due to your misconduct—two DUIs incurred over the course of your service.  As a result, you were rendered ineligible to collect ISP under applicable regulations. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken at this time.  You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of new matters.  New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board.  In this regard, it is important to keep in 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,
