NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

JRE
Docket No: 4879-98
14 April 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 25 February 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 served on active duty in the Navy from 28 July 1978 to 2 July
1982, when you were released from active duty to the Naval Reserve. You underwent a
physical examination 24 July 1982, and were found physically qualified for service. You
stated that you were in good health at that time, and denied any symptoms of a mental
disorder. You were discharged from the Naval Reserve on 25 August 1993, after being found
not physically qualified for service because of a mental disorder, which was not related to
your naval service.

In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you were unfit for duty when released
from active duty on 2 July 1982, or that your condition was incurred during a period of duty
in the Naval Reserve, the Board was unable to recommend any corrective action in your
case. 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
