Dear
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 17 August 1999. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this

your application, together with all
submitted in support
thereof, your naval record and
and policies.
regulations
After careful and conscientious considerahion of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
I
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 5 June 1997 at
age 18. A psychiatric evaluation completed on 20 June 1997
stated, in part, as follows:

... relates a history of wblackoutsw when depressed or
angry. He relates having these blac outs multiple
times since age 14, and admits that he has harmed
himself or become aggressive with others during these
time. When (he) recovers from these blackouts which
typically last from five to ten minutes he has no
memory of his actions during these times. (He) admits
recurrent suicidal ideation since age 17, on one
occasion a friend found him allegedly in a state of
blackout attempting to cut his wrists. (He) relates
experiencing an increase in frequency of these
blackouts since arrival at RTC. .... (He) remains an
expeditious separation not be undert 9 ken, as (he) is
imminent risk of harm to self or 0th rs should
not able to use normal judgment and hold himself
accountable for his actions when he becomes angry and
blacks out.
The diagnosis was "Impulse control disorder not otherwise
specified" .
Based on the psychiatric evaluation, you were processed for an
administrative separation. In connection with separation you
elected to waive all of your procedural rights. On 30 June 1997
the separation authority directed an entry level separation due
to erroneous entry into the Navy. You were so separated on 3
July 1997. At that time you were not recommended for
reenlistment and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistmenk code.
Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code
when an individual is separated due to erroneous entry. The
Board concluded that the seriousness of the psychiatric disorder
was sufficient to support separation due to an erroneous
enlistment and the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code.
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.
