BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
JRE
Docket No: 2780-99
25 May 1999
Dear 4
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 20 May 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 Marine Corps on 26 July 1981. On 18 June 1982,
a medical board gave you a diagnosis of Crohn's disease and referred your case to the
Central Physical Evaluation Board. The medical board report indicates that in October 1981,
you disclosed that you had had dull constant aching lower abdominal pain of three to six
months duration, and had noted diarrhea, hematochezia, fevers and nausea together with the
pain. On 14 July 1992, the Central Physical Evaluation Board made preliminary findings
that you were unfit for duty because of the Crohn's disease, which existed prior to your
enlistment and was not aggravated by your naval service. You agreed with those findings on
21 July 1992, and were discharged from the Marine Corps on 20 August 1982.
The Board was unable to accept your unsubstantiated contention that your condition did not
exist prior to your enlistment in the Marine Corps. 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
