BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC
20370-5100
JRE
Docket No: 7260-98
13 April 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 April 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 8 to 26 January 1973,
when you were discharged because of your failure to meet the physical minimum standards
for enlistment due to post-surgical arthritis of the left knee, which existed prior to your
enlistment, and was not aggravated by your nineteen days of service. Your discharge was
pursuant to the approved findings of the medical board which evaluated you on 24 January
1973. On 30 March 1976, the Veterans Administration denied your request for service
connection for your knee condition.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that your knee condition was incurred in or
aggravated by your naval service, 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
