to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice finds as
follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all

adminjistrative remedies available under existing law and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Although it appears that enclosure (1) was not filed in

timely manner, it is in the interest of justice to waive the
statute of limitations and review the application on its merits.

c. Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 16 April 1992 at age 19.

At that time he had completed 12 years of formal education.

Petitioner had a personality disorder and that he was a risk to

Petitioner be separated with a general discharge by reason of a

g. Applicable directives authorize the assignment of either an

RE-3G or RE-4 reenlistment code to an individual discharged due
to a physical or mental condition such as a diagnosed personality
disorder.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants partial
relief.
In this regard, the Board concludes that his general
discharge should be recharacterized to honorable based on the
member’s conduct and overall traits averages and since he had no
disciplinary actions during his period of service.

Although Petitioner has requested that his reenlistment code be
changed, the Board notes that the RE-4 reenlistment code is
authorized by regulatory guidance for individuals discharged due
to diagnosed personality disorders.
since Petitioner was a risk to himself and others, there is no
error or injustice in his reenlistment code.
Board concludes that Petitioner’s request for a change in his
reenlistment code be denied.

The Board concludes that

Therefore, the

injustice warranting the following corrective action.
