BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

TRG 
Docket No:  2791-99 
1 September 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 31 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 25 November 1997 
at age 18.  On 15 December 1997 you were diagnosed as having a 
dependent personality disorder and an adjustment disorder with 
anxiety.  In his evaluation, the psychologist stated that you 
were a potential danger to yourself or others if you were 
retained in the Navy. 

Based on the diagnoses you were processed for an administrative 
separation.  In connection with this processing, you elected to 
waive your procedural rights.  Subsequently, the separation 
authority directed an entry level separation.  You were so 
separated on 23 December 1997.  At that time you were not 
recommended for reenlistment and were assigned an RE-4 
reenlistment code. 

Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code 
when an individual is separated due to a diagnosed personality 
disorder and such a code is normally assigned when there is a 
finding that an individual is a risk to harm herself or others. 
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. 
I n   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
