The Board found that on 19 October 1988, a medical board gave you a diagnosis of heat
stroke, and referred your case to the Central Physical Evaluation Board (CPEB). On 28
November 1988, the President, CPEB, forwarded the medical board report to the
Commander, Naval Medical Command, for review. On 2 December 1988, the Commander,

history of heat stroke was not a physical disability, and that if that condition continued to
interfere with your performance of duty, administrative discharge should be considered.

government, by reason of a condition, not a disability, interfering with your performance of
duty.

You

The Board noted that at the time of your discharge, heat stroke and other disturbances of
heat regulation were specifically excluded from the definition of physical disability employed
by the naval service. Accordingly, and in the absence of any evidence which demonstrates
that you suffered from an unfitting condition at that time, it was unable to recommend any

corrective action in your case, and 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
