BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

ELP 
Docket No.  4067-98 
28 May 1999 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 26 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 reenlisted in the Marine Corps on 
31 December 1991 for four years as a CPL  (E-4).  At the time of 
your reenlistment you had completed more that six years of prior 
active service in both the Army and Marine Corps. 

The record reflects that you served without incident until 2 May 
1994 when you received nonjudicial punishment  (NJP) for 
dereliction in the performance of your duties and disobedience of 
an order.  Punishment imposed consisted of a forfeiture of $300 
which was suspended for three months, and 14 days of restriction 
and extra police duties. The following day you were counseled 
regarding your below average performance as a noncomnissioned 
officer, specifically, absence from morning formation on two 
occasions, failure to keep superiors informed of your 
whereabouts, failure to maintain an updated recall phone number, 
and poor personal appearance. 

The record further reflects that on 23 July 1995 you received 
permanent change of station  (PCS) orders.  However, on 4 October 
1995 that you were advised that you would be assigned an RE-30 
reenlistment code due to your refusal to reenlist or extend to 
comply with PCS orders.  You also declined to submit a statement 
in rebuttal to the assigned reenlistment code.  You were 
honorably discharged on 18 October 1995 by reason of llvoluntary 
discharge-completion  of required active servicel1 and assigned an 
RE-30 reenlistment code. 

An RE-30 reenlistment code may be assigned to career Marines who 
receive PCS orders but refuse to extend or reenlist in order to 
obtain sufficient obligated service to carry out those orders. 
The Board noted your contention that you refused PCS orders 
because you were not reenlisting.  However, absent convincing 
evidence that you informed career planners long before orders 
were issued that you did not intend to reenlist, the Board 
concluded that the reenlistment code was correctly assigned.  The 
Board believed that you were fortunate that you were not assigned 
an RE-4  reenlistment code since you were within six months of 
reaching service limitations as a CPL.  The Board concluded that 
the reenlistment code was appropriate and no change is warranted. 
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 PE'EIFFER 
Executive Director
