BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAVY ANNEX 

WASHINGTON DC  20370-5100 

CRS 
Docket No:  3266-99 
2 September 1999 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 1 September 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 5 January 1993 
at age 18.  On 20 June 1994 you were honorably separated by 
reason of pregnancy or childbirth.  At that time you were 
assigned a reenlistment code of RE-3B. 

The Board noted that an RE-3B reenlistment code is the most 
favorable reenlistment code authorized by regulatory guidance for 
individuals discharged due to pregnancy or childbirth.  It means 
that you may not reenlist in the Navy without obtaining a waiver 
from recruiting officials.  The Board thus concluded that there 
is no error or injustice in your reenlistment code.  Accordingly, 
your application has been denied.  The names and votes of che 
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 

The Board noted your contention that your reenlistment code is 
preventing you from receiving benefits administered by  the 
Department of Veterans Affairs  (DVA).  However, an individual's 
reenlistment code has no impact on eligibility for DVA benefits. 
In this regard, it appears that you do not have sufficient 

service to qualify for benefits.  However, you should contact 
your local DVA office for definitive guidance on eligibility for 
benefits. 

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
