BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TRG
Docket No: 2472-99
26 August 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 24 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 enlisted in the Navy on 3 November 1992
at age 18. Two days later you were referred for a psychiatric
evaluation. You told the psychologist about a prior psychiatric
history and reported mood swings, chronic depression, extreme
anxiety, impulsive behavior, identity disturbance, and chronic
feelings of emptiness or boredom. The report of the evaluation
states, in part, as follows:
... He reported poor sleep, poor appetite, impaired
concentration, feelings of hopelessness/helplessness,
low energy, poor self-esteem, crying spells. Recent
and remote memory were generally intact. ... (He) does
now wish to continue training.
The psychologist diagnosed you with a severe adjustment disorder
with depressed mood and recommended administrative separation.
Based on the psychologistls recommendation you were processed for
separation due to an erroneous enlistment. In connection with
this processing you stated "I do not object to this separation.I1
After revi'ev, the separation authority directed an entry level
separation. You were so separated on 13 November 1992. At that
time you were not recommended for reenlistment and were assigned
an RE-4 reenlistment code.
In your application, you state that you were sleepless during the
three days prior to reporting for recruit training and the first
day in training. You claim that this lack of sleep led to your
adjustment problems.
Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code
when an individual is separated by reason of erroneous
enlistment, or when an individual is separated as a recruit
failure. The Board believed that the psychiatric history and the
poor adjustment to recruit training were sufficient to justify
the assignment of the RE-4 reenlistment code. Since you have
been treated no differently than others in your situation, the
Board could not find an error or injustice in the assignment of
the 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.
Sincerely,
W . DEAN P F E I F F E R
Executive Director
