Docket No:  696-99 
20 August 1999 

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 
the Board consisted of 
Board.  Documentary material considered 
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: 

I 

11 

... 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.

Executive Director
