BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

ELP 
Docket No.  1921-99 
20 August  1999 

This is in reference to your 
naval record pursuant  to the 
States Code, Section 1552. 

application for correction of your 
provisions of Title 10, United 

A  three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval 
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your 
application on 18 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 record provided  for the Boardls review is incomplete. 
However, available records reveal that you reenlisted in the Navy 
on 30 November  1992 for four years as an HM3  (E-4).  At the time 
of your reenlistment, you had completed more than five years of 
prior active service.  You extended your enlistment for an 
additional period of four months on 3 November  1994. 

The record reflects that you served without incident until 
3 November 1995 when you were advised that you had failed to meet 
the Navy's  physical  readiness standards for the October 1995 
Physical Readiness Test/Body Fat  (PRT/BF) cycle.  You were 
enrolled in a command directed physical conditioning program and 
warned  that three PRT/BF failures in a four year period required 
processing for administrative separation.  You were honorably 
discharged on 20 December 1996 by reason of !!Failed Physical 
Standards" and assigned an RE-3F  reenlistment code.  The 
discharge processing documentation  is not on file in the record. 

Regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-3F  or RE-4 
reenlistment code to individuals discharged by  reason of "Failed 
Physical Standards."  An RE-3F  reenlistment code means an 
individual failed the physical  readiness test but is eligible for 
reenlistment except for the disqualifying factor which led to 
discharge.  An RE-4  reenlistment code means that the individual 
is ineligible for reenlistment without prior approval from 
Commander, Naval  Personnel Command.  An RE-3F  reenlistment code 
may be waived to allow reenlistment by  recruiting officials if an 
individual can show he is otherwise qualified.  Absent evidence 
to the contrary, a presumption  exists that action by  the Navy  to 
discharge you by reason of "failed physical  standards" was both 
appropriate and proper.  Since you received the most favorable 
reenlistment code authorized by regulation, the Board could find 
no error or injustice in the assigned reenlistment code.  The 
Board thus concluded that the reenlistment code was proper 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 PFEIFFER 
Executive Director

    On 31 July 1995, Petitioner was honorably discharged from active duty and assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code. In this regard, the reenlistment code of RE-4 means that she is not recommended for reenlistment. The Board therefore concludes that no useful purpose is served by assignment of the most restrictive reenlistment code of RE-4, and the RE-3F code more accurately reflects the quality of her service.
