BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

JRE 
Docket No:  8801-98 
8 September 1999 

This 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  26 August  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  were evaluated by  a board  of  medical survey on  16 March  1960, 
and  given a diagnosis of  keratoconus, bilateral, existed prior  to entry, not aggravated by 
service.  That board  recommended that you  be discharged from the Naval  service without 
entitlement to disability benefits.  On  18 March  1960, after being advised of  the finding and 
recommendation of the board  of medical survey, you  waived  your right to appear before a 
physical evaluation board, and  requested  that you  be discharged from the Navy  as soon as 
possible.  You  were discharged on  29 March  1960. 

In  the absence of evidence which  demonstrates that  your condition was  incurred in  or 
aggravated by  your naval  service, the Board  was  unable to recommend any corrective action 
in your case.  Accordingly, your application has been  denied.  The names and  votes af 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
