BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TOR
Docket No: 5750-0Q09
24 May 2010:
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 18 May 2010. The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 ali
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 the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in. the Navy on 17 March 1983 at age 18 and served
-without disciplinary incident until 26 February 1986, when you
received nonjudicial punishment for two periods of absence from
your appointed place of duty.
On 14 March 1986 you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation
because of your abnormal behavior due to drug ingestion. You
Stated, in part, that prior to enlistment, you used marijuana,
acid, cocaine, hashish, and Quaaludes. You were diagnosed with a
history of poly-substance abuse and a severe mixed personality
‘disorder with schizoid, histrionic, dependent, and borderline
features. You were recommended for an expeditious administrative
separation because it was determined that the chronic nature of
your personality disorder reflected a long-term pattern of
recurrent immature behavior.
Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation
by reason of convenience of the government due to your diagnosed
personality disorder. The discharge authority directed an
honorable discharge by reason of convenience of the government
due to a diagnosed personality disorder, and on 9 May 1986, you
were so discharged and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to change the narrative reason for
separation and reenlistment code. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant changes in
the narrative reason for separation or reenlistment code because
of the severity of your diagnosed personality disorder. Finally,
the Board found that you did not provide any psychiatric evidence
to negate the diagnosis of a personality disorder at the time of
your naval service. Accordingly, your application has been
denied.
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,
\Wdoade..)
