BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

JRE 
Docket  No:  3 150-98 
7 June  1999 

~hi;is in  reference to your application  for correction of  your  naval  record  pursuant  to  the 
provisions of  title  10 of  the United  States Code, section  1552. 

A three-member panel of  the Board  for Correction of Naval  Records, sitting in  executive 
session, considered your application on  20 May  1999.  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,  your naval record  and 
applicable statutes, regulations and  policies. 

After careful and  conscientious consideration of  the entire record, the Board  found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of  probable material error or 
injustice. 

The Board  found that you  enlisted in  the Marine Corps on  10 December  1985.  On  31 
December  1987, a medical board  gave you  diagnoses of  bulimia nervosa, did  not exist  prior 
to enlistment (DNEPTE), treated, in  remission; dysthymic disorder, EPTE,  not  service 
aggravated (NSA); alcohol abuse, episodic, in  remission,  DNEPTE; and  mixed  personality 
disorder with borderline and  dependent features, EPTE,  NSA.  On  18 May  1988, a majority 
of the hearing panel of the Physical Evaluation Board  which  considered your case on  that 
date found you  fit for duty.  A minority found you  unfit due to the dysthymic disorder.  The 
Director, Naval  Council of  Personnel  Boards approved the minority finding, and  you  were 
discharged by  reason of physical disability on  22  August  1988, without entitlement to 
disability severance pay. 

The Board  carefully considered  your contention that your disabilities did  not exist prior  to 
your enlistment in  the Marine Corps; however, in  the absence of  evidence which 
substantiates that contention and  demonstrates that your dysthymic disorder was  incurred  in 
or agmvated by  your naval  service, the Rmrd  was  m;thle to  recommend any corrective 

action in  your case.  Accordingly,  your application has been  denied.  The names and  votes of 
the members of  the panel will be  furnished upon  request. 

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 
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  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, 

W.  DEAN  PFEIFFER 
Executive Director
