NAVY | BCNR | CY1999 | 02469-99
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 25 August 1999. The record reflects that on 30 June 1998 you were referred to a mental health unit because of suicidal ideation, inability to tolerate authority, and a prior undisclosed history of psychiatric treatment. Separation by erroneous entry is authorized when an enlistment would not have occurred if a disqualifying factor had been known prior to enlistment.

Army Regulation 635-5-1 states the narrative reason for separation for Soldiers separated under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-13 is "personality disorder." The applicant contends he should have been diagnosed with ADHD, and his discharge should have been based upon that condition, not the stated "personality disorder." The evidence of record in this case shows the applicant was evaluated by a psychiatrist who diagnosed him with an adjustment disorder.
