BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAW ANN EX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
JRE
Docket No: 3582-99
20 July 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 8 July 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 if your present contentions concerning the circumstances of your
discharge from the Marine Corps in 1980 are true, you fraudulently procured your discharge
by feigning mental illness. Accordingly, it was unable to conclude that the resulting
diagnosis of a borderline personality disorder is unjust. Your good post service conduct and
accomplishments and other factors enumerated in your application were not considered
sufficient to warrant the removal of the objectionable diagnosis from your record. In view of
the foregoing, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the
panel will be furnished upon request.
The Board noted that your DD Form 214 indicates that you were discharged by reason of
physical disability, when, in fact, the medical board which evaluated you on 30 July 1980
recommended that you be discharged by reason of unsuitability based on the personality
disorder, and the recommendation was approved by the medical board convening authority.
If you want the Board to correct the basis for your discharge to unsuitability, you should
submit a new application.
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
